4 large potatoes, scrubbed
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 cup sliced button mushrooms
4 to 6 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon mustard
2 teaspoons snipped chives
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese
Recipe
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork; place directly on the oven shelf and bake for 1-1/2 hours or until tender.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet, add the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes until soft and lightly colored. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for a further 5 to 6 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated. Transfer onions and mushrooms to a bowl.
3. Cut the baked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the cooked potato from each half. Add to the onion mixture in bowl; beat together, adding sufficient milk to give a smooth consistency. Beat in the mustard and chives and season to taste.
4. Preheat the broiler to high. Pile the mixture back into the potato skins and fork over the tops to give a thatched effect. Sprinkle with the cheese. Place under the broiler for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
