How to Make the Most Delicious Potato Boats: The Secret Ingredient That Makes the Dish a Culinary Masterpiece
To prepare a culinary masterpiece, it is not at all necessary to use expensive ingredients.
A set of standard products may be enough to get an incredibly beautiful and very tasty dish.
Perhaps one of the most striking examples of such a dish is potato boats.
This is the name given to potato halves that have been stripped of pulp and filled with a certain mixture.
The filling includes mushrooms. This ingredient is the secret of the bright taste of the dish, emphasizes the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, cook, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
Potato boats recipe
Take four large potatoes, wash them with water, but do not peel them.
Boil these tubers and then leave them in the refrigerator for a while.
While the nightshades are cooling, prepare the filling for the future “boats”.
Take two onions, peel them, cut them into cubes and put them in a preheated frying pan.
When the onion turns brown, add 300 grams of finely chopped mushrooms.
After about 8 minutes (by which time the liquid should have completely evaporated), pour 50 grams of grated cheese into the pan.
In addition, it is advisable to use the following additives: sour cream (2 tablespoons), table salt (half a teaspoon), ground pepper (to taste).
The thoroughly mixed mixture must be fried for another 3 minutes.
Take the potatoes out of the refrigerator and cut them in half. Remove some of the pulp from each half (using a spoon) and fill the resulting “boats” with the prepared onion-mushroom mixture.
Sprinkle each filled potato half with a little grated cheese.
The final stage is heating the resulting "constructions" in the oven. The procedure lasts 20 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees.
