202. TWICE BAKED POTATOES with MAITAKE MUSHROOMS, BACON, and SMOKED GOUDA

4 large baking potatoes (baked until almost cooked thru)
6 oz. grated smoked gouda
1/2 stick of butter
2 oz. dried Maitake mushrooms
4 slices of bacon, diced

Cut potatoes lengthwise in half. Scoop out potatoes into a bowl. Try not to damage the skins. Add 6 oz. grated smoked gouda and 1/2 stick of butter to warm potatoes and smash a little. Reconstitute 2 oz. of Maitake mushroom in hot tap water just to cover for 15 mins. Drain, chop, put in a small skillet with 4 slices of bacon, diced. Sauté until bacon is crisp. Combine this with the potatoes mixture, scoop it back into the potatoes skins top with a little smoked gouda and bake again until hot.
