		ounces
		Olive oil
4		Red bell peppers, seeded and

1	lb	Mushrooms, stemmed and

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash the potatoes, prick them and bake
for about an hour or until done. (If kids don't like very crunchy
exterior, scrub the potatoes clean, wrap them in foil and then bake;
they will then steam rather than bake.)  Meanwhile, heat olive oil and
saute peppers and mushrooms until  tender. Remove from heat and stir in
pesto, or other paste to taste  and season with salt and pepper.  When
potatoes are done, split them almost all the way to the bottom  and
squeeze up some of the potato flesh; spoon vegetable topping over  and
around potatoes. If you did not add pesto or other paste, top  with
yogurt; if you added pesto or other paste, top with shaved  Parmesan.
