Vegetable Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. 2

   Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork.

3. 3

   Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the skins are crisp and the insides are tender.

4. 4

   While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the mushrooms, bell pepper, and carrots.

5. 5

   Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms, bell pepper, and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise.

7. 7

   Carefully scoop out most of the potato flesh into a bowl, leaving a thin layer to keep the skins intact.

8. 8

   Mash the scooped-out potato flesh and mix it with the sautéed vegetables and half of the cheese.

9. 9

   Spoon the vegetable and potato mixture back into the potato skins. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

10. 10

    Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking tray and return them to the oven. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

11. 11

    Remove from the oven and serve hot.
