- Meanwhile, clean and slice the mushrooms and whisk the marinade ingredients together
- Place mushrooms and marinade in a small dish or ziplock bag and marinate for about 30 min
- Place mushrooms & marinade into a skillet and fry over med-high heat until mushrooms have reduced and the marinade has evaporated
- When potatoes are done, allow them to cool for about 30 min
- Slice each potato lengthwise and scoop out the center, leaving about 1/3" on all sides
- Place potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 450° F for 20 minutes
- Prepare any frozen vegetables if using
- Carefully dress each potato skin with cheese, veggies, bacon, and more cheese
