Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes (about 250 g each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 200 g mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 celery stalks, finely sliced
- 200 g hearts of palm, drained and sliced
- 150 g bok choy, chopped (separate stems and leaves)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water or vegetable broth (optional, for sautéing)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash, scrub, and dry the potatoes. Pierce each several times with a fork.
- Place potatoes directly on the oven rack or a baking tray. Bake for 50–60 minutes until crisp outside and tender inside.
- While baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add mushrooms and sauté for 4–5 minutes until browned and moisture is released.
- Add celery and hearts of palm. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add bok choy stems and cook for 2 minutes. Then add bok choy leaves.
- Season with Old Bay, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Add water or broth if needed to prevent sticking.
- Cook 1–2 more minutes until bok choy wilts. Remove from heat.
- Slice open baked potatoes and fluff insides with a fork.
- Spoon sautéed vegetables over each potato. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot.
