A few tips for this recicpe:

It’s best to start this recipe by cooking your potatoes first, as they will take the longest. You’ll want to poke little holes around the potato using a fork, as this will help the heat to escape while baking. Wrap in tin foil and bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes at 425F/215C, or until you can easily poke through the potatoes with a toothpick.

While you’re waiting for the baked potatoes, you can prepare the mushroom and spinach filling and gravy. These can both be left on the stove top to warm until the potatoes are ready.

As for the vegan gravy – you can find the full recipe here. It reheats well with leftovers as well, and will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
