Ingredients

Baked Potato with Mushrooms
1 large baking potato
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¼ cup chopped onions
½ cup chopped mushrooms
salt to taste
2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

Pierce potato a few times with a fork. Place onto a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high until tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Transfer potato to a baking dish.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the potato is baking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in mushrooms and season with salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook without stirring until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 5

Remove potato from the oven. Slice halfway through the potato lengthwise and squeeze gently to open. Top with onion-mushroom mixture and yogurt.
