How to Make Smothered Taters
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Scrub potatoes thoroughly and pierce each several times with a fork.
- For extra soft skins, rub potatoes with 1 tablespoon of butter, wrap individually in foil.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 70-80 minutes, or until tender.
- While potatoes bake (about 30 minutes remaining), prepare the sauce:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, flour, bouillon granules, water, and pepper.
- Set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic, mushrooms, and onions; cook until softened and mushrooms have released their moisture (about 5-7 minutes).
- Pour the sour cream mixture into the skillet.
- Stir in salt and Italian seasoning.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened and is bubbly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise. Lightly mash the inside with a fork, leaving some texture.
- Generously spoon the creamy garlic and mushroom sauce over the potatoes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Smothered Tater masterpiece!
