steps

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes, prick them with a fork, and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook until mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Remove the potatoes from the oven. Cut a slit across the top of each potato and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer inside the skin. Mash the potato flesh with the vegan cream cheese in a bowl.
