Mike Rutherford's Twice-baked Potatoes  (well not really, but you never know..)

4 Russet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion and/or a few mushrooms, chopped and pan fried
1 tablespoon sour cream or cheese
salt & pepper
herbs (optional)

Wrap the potatoes in foil and bake in a 450 degree oven for about an hour or until soft to touch.  Carefully remove foil [there'll be hot steam so be cautious] and let potatoes cool.  Saute chopped onion and/or mushrooms in pan on medium heat in a little olive oil till tender.  When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice in half lengthwise horizontally, cradle one half in hand and scoop out with a spoon leaving about 1/4 inch potato around edge; place scoopings in a large bowl and mash together with butter, onion mixture, sourcream or cheese, herbs, and s&p.  Return potato mixture to each half potato, join each half back together, re-wrap in foil and heat in oven till warm through.  Eat immediately or pack into bags and backpacks for a great lunch on the road.  Bacon or chopped ham also good to add.

fresh baked bread is a beautiful thing, we used to have a great place that did the kind of cheese and mushroom bread you describe .. and I had a friend (before he died) who baked the most simple but delicious white bread which we'd toast with lots of butter, nothing like it

 ^ MMMM !

how'd it turn out Rob?  you make any noodles or potatoes to put the sauce over? 

got me some Popeye's tonight, spicy of course, plenty of slaw, biscuits & jelly

My wife made some corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes with carrots for St. Pat's.  Not necessarily prog, but good and smelly.

I just feasted on Nachos with sour cream, salsa and melted cheese.

Please send this truck to my house.  Thanks.

I'll try Pat, sadly last week they didn't show up--  I was quite distraught, keeping my fingers crossed for this Sunday

Yesterday was corned beef brisket.  The day before we had the cabbage.

Tonight was a medley of rice, black beans, corn, and onions.  I tossed mine onto tortillas with Louisiana hot sauce.  Yum. 

It's new here, so maybe it'll get there soon David. 
Great Plant review, btw
