Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 250 grams Button mushrooms
• 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 200 milliliters Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash and pat dry the russet potatoes, then pierce each one several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 3

Rub each potato with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Place them directly on the middle oven rack or on a baking tray.

Step 4

Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the curried mushrooms. Clean the mushrooms and slice them evenly.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the curry powder and ground turmeric, cooking for 1 minute to release the spices' aroma.

Step 8

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 9

Pour in the coconut milk, reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

Once the mixture has thickened slightly, stir in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Remove from heat.

Step 11

When the potatoes are done baking, use a knife to make a lengthwise slit in each potato and gently push the ends to open them slightly.

Step 12

Spoon the curried mushrooms over the baked potatoes, dividing evenly among the four. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 13

Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Baked Potato with Curried Mushrooms!
