Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 1 hour

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork. Place on baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until you can easily slide a knife through the potatoes.
3. When potatoes have about 20 minutes to go, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms in melted butter until tender, about 15 minutes, seasoning with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to taste throughout cooking time.
4. Split potatoes open and serve each topped with sauteed vegetables.
Cook potato faster in microwave

In a hurry? Cook the potatoes in the microwave. Pierce with a fork as above, then put in microwave on a paper towel. Microwave on high for 15 minutes (only 8-10 if you are doing just 1 potato), or until you can easily slide a knife through the potato.
