Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (215°C). This high heat ensures your potatoes bake thoroughly with a soft interior.
Prepare the Potatoes: Poke holes all over each russet potato using a fork to allow steam to escape. Wrap each potato in tin foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-50 minutes until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Prepare the Filling: While the potatoes bake, heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped garlic, cremini mushrooms, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5-10 minutes until mushrooms are browned and reduced in moisture.
Add Flavorings to Filling: Stir in almond butter, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice to the skillet. Continue cooking and mixing until well combined and the mushrooms are richly flavored.
Add Spinach: Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted and incorporated into the mushroom mixture.
Assemble the Potatoes: Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and carefully slice each one open. Gently spoon the mushroom and spinach filling into each potato, evenly distributing the mixture.
Finish and Serve: Drizzle the stuffed potatoes generously with vegan gravy for added moisture and flavor. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty, vegan-friendly meal.

Notes

You can substitute cremini mushrooms with button mushrooms if preferred.
For a gluten-free gravy, ensure the vegan gravy you use is certified gluten-free.
Leftover stuffed potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best results.
Adjust salt according to taste since the mushroom mixture and gravy add umami flavors.
Roasting the potatoes without foil will produce a crispier skin if preferred.
