• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 large potatoes
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup flour
• 1⁄2 cup water

• 1 teaspoon minced garlic clove

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

4. Place potatoes in a metal bake sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 70 to 80 minutes or until tender. *Hint* Some Microwaves have settings that make baked potatoes but do not cover them in foil.
5. Start preparing the next part of the meal when the potatoes have about 30 minutes left.
6. In a bowl you need to add 8 ounces of sour cream and 1/2 cup of flour.
7. Place the bouillon granules on the chopping board. Use a clever turned side ways to press the granules flat. This should make them like a powder.
8. Add the bouillon powder, 1/2 cup of water, and some pepper in to the bowl and stir.
9. Once you have the mixture stirred you can set it aside.
10. In a skillet put two tablespoon of butter, one tablespoon of minced garlic, mushrooms, and your desired amount of onions.
11. Cook over medium heat until the mushrooms cook down to your liking.
12. Add the flour mixture to the skillet.
13. Add the desired amount of salt pepper and Italian Seasoning.
14. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
15. Cut the cooked potatoes in half, mash the insides up a little, pour the sauce over the top, and Enjoy!

I'm sorry but this sauce did not turn out for me at all. It started very thick to begin with. After I added the mixture to the veggies, I let it sit to get rich, but it nearly burned. I ended up adding more water and the flour had an uncooked taste to it. I really wanted this to turn out too. I'm so sorry. Made and reviewed for PAC Fall 2008. Thanks :)
