Stuffed New Potatoes
1 lb. of small new potatoes
1/4 c. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375°.
Clean the new potatoes with cold water. Cut off the tips from the long ends of each potato and cut each potato in half. Scoop out a bit of the potato center with a melon baler and place potato skins in a bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper and mix – coating each potato. Place potatoes on a baking sheet pan and bake for 30–40 minutes. They should be browned on top. Take out of oven and fill with creamy mushroom filling.

1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms
2 TBS. minced shallots
2 TBS. butter
1/2 c. heavy cream

Place a frying pan over medium heat. When the pan is warm, add the butter and shallots and sauté for 1–2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and stir occasionally until they are soft. Pour in the cream and allow to boil. Cook until it begins to thicken. Add the cheese and then season with the cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Fill each potato and serve warm.
