Baked potatoes with fromage frais, chives and mushrooms

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

200–250 g fromage frais, for serving
fresh chives, for scattering
dressed chicory leaves, for serving
For the potatoes
4 large baking potatoes
olive oil, for coating
coarse sea salt, for dusting
For the mushrooms
400 g mixed mushrooms, cleaned
1 T olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200ºC.

Slit a cross in each cleaned potato. Roll in olive oil and sea salt then place on a baking tray lined with nonstick paper. Bake for about 1 hour or until soft. Set aside to keep warm.

To grill the mushrooms: Leave whole the small mushrooms and thickly slice the larger ones. Mix with the oil, garlic and seasoning. Turn onto a grill pan and arrange in a single layer.

Slide under a hot grill for 5 minutes or until just cooked, but still fleshy. Toss to moisten then check seasoning.

To serve: Using a tea towel, squash the split ends of the potatoes to fluff the steamy insides. Top with scoops of fromage frais, scatter with herbs and serve with the mushrooms and dressed chicory leaves.

For special occasions: Instead of white or button mushrooms, splurge on luxury varieties such as porcini or shiitake. Add curls of smoked salmon trout.
