Stuff Potato Shells

Potatoes are loved by all alike.... This recipe is my mum's which she makes very often... Here you can play around with the filling of your choice ie instead of mushrooms use sweet corn or cottage cheese or mixed veggies... And also instead of white sauce you can use amul cream to make it more creamier and in a jiffy.. But i simply love this original recipe without any changes to it... The combination of mushrooms stuffed in potatoes makes it more versatile... It was over sooner than it was made.. I could save only two for the click...

Ingredients:

4 big size potatoes

1 pack mushrooms chopped

2 small onions chopped

5-6 fresh basil leaves chopped or any other fresh herb available to you

1/2 tbsp butter

1/2 tbsp refined flour

1/2 cup milk

Method: Cut the potatoes into horizontal and par boil them in salted water... Do not remove the skin.. Cool and scoop the inside with a spoon carefully. Keep aside..

To make white sauce: Heat butter in a pan and saute refined flour on sim till the raw smell disappears for approximately 2mins.. Take care it should not turn brown... Add in milk and whisk well to break all the lumps.. Cook till it boils.. Add in salt and pepper.. It should be a thick consistency so that it coats the mushroom filling..

To make the filling: Heat oil in a pan and saute onions till pink.. Add in mushrooms and cook on high flame till all the water dries up.. Add in salt, pepper and basil leaves. Mix well.. Add in the white sauce and mix till all the sauce coats the mushroom.. The filling is ready..
