Ingredients

4 Large Baking Potatoes

Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

4 tbsp. sweet butter

1/3 c yellow onion, finely chopped

1/2 c finely chopped fresh mushrooms

2 c cooked lobster meat

1 c dry white vermouth

1/2 cup crème fraîche

1/2 c grated Jarlsberg cheese plus extra for topping potatoes

1-2 tbsp. heavy cream (optional)

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Scrub and dry the potatoes. Cut a small, deep slit in the top of each potato. Set potatoes on the middle rack of a preheated 375°F oven and bake until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 hour.

Step 2

Let potatoes cool slightly, cut off and discard the tops, and scrape the potato pulp into a bowl. Do not scrape so deeply that you tear the potato skin. Salt and pepper the potato shells; reserve. Mash the potato pulp; reserve.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small skillet over low heat and sauté the chopped onion, covered, until tender and lightly colored, about 25 minutes. Add the mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes. Stir in the lobster. Season with salt and pepper, add the vermouth, then raise the heat to a boil. Stir frequently over high heat until all the liquid has boiled away. Stir in the crème fraîche and remove from heat.

Step 4

Combine lobster mixture with the reserved mashed potato pulp & the ½ cup Jarlsberg. Taste, correct the seasoning; add heavy cream if the mixture seems too dry.

Step 5

Stuff the mixture into the reserved potato skins; mound the filling slightly. Sprinkle additional grated cheese on top and place on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake again, at 400°F, until the potatoes are hot and the cheese is bubbling. Serve immediately.
