Baked Potato with Mushrooms

Ingredients

  • 1 large baking potato
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 0.25 cup chopped onions
  • 0.5 cup chopped mushrooms
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt

Method

  1. Heat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. Use a fork to pierce the potato several times. Put it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for about 10 minutes, until tender but not soft. Move the potato to a baking dish.
  3. Cook the potato in the heated oven for 15 minutes.
  4. As the potato bakes, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onion and cook while stirring for about 5 minutes until tender. Stir in the mushrooms, add salt, then lower the heat. Cover the pan and leave to cook without stirring for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Take the pan off the heat.
  5. Take the potato from the oven. Cut it lengthwise halfway through and press gently to open it up. Spoon the onion and mushroom mixture on top, then add the yogurt.
