Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
Cooking the Filling
  1. While the potatoes are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
Assembling the Potatoes
  1. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  2. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the insides, leaving a small edge.
  3. Mix the scooped potato with the mushroom and spinach mixture, then stir in the shredded cheese.
  4. Stuff the potato skins with the filling and return them to the oven.
  5. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Serve hot, garnished with sour cream and chopped chives or parsley if desired.

Notes

Leftover stuffed potatoes stay fresh in the fridge for about 3-5 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. Add a splash of moisture with a little extra cheese if desired.
