How To Make stuffed potatoes, iris

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees, scrub potatoes well and pat dry. Rub potatoes with olive oil and wrap individually in foil. Bake 1 hour.
  • Step 2
    In a skillet brown italian sausages well. Drain and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a little of the reserved liquid, sauté onions, peppers, and mushrooms until just softened. Add the sliced beef, cut off heat and set aside.
  • Step 4
    After potatoes are done and cooled,care fully scoop out potatoes, leaving about a 1/4" of flesh so skins don't collapse.
  • Step 5
    Mix half of the scooped out flesh with meat and veggies in a mixing bowl, mix gently, so veggies and meat don't break down too much.
  • Step 6
    Mound mixture into your skins, and top each with a sliced of cheese, run under broiler until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
