How to Make Baked Potatoes And Mushrooms

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, place 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms in enough warm water to cover; let soak for 30 minutes.
  3. Drain the mushrooms and coarsely chop them.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the chopped mushrooms to the saucepan and cook for another 5 minutes, until softened.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Grease a 1-quart casserole dish.
  10. Slice 2 pounds of potatoes thinly and layer half of them in the prepared casserole dish.
  11. Pour half of the mushroom sauce over the potatoes.
  12. Repeat layers with the remaining potatoes and sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  13. Bake, covered, for 35 minutes.
  14. Uncover and bake for another 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
  15. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
