2 cups Florida potatoes, cooked
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

Step 1: Wash mushrooms, carefully removing stems. Chop enough stems to make 1/2 cup; set aside. Use a melon baller to carefully hollow out the mushroom caps, leaving more room for filling.
Step 2: Saute celery, onion, mushroom stems and sausage, until sausage is cooked through. Mash potatoes with sour cream. Add mixture to mashed potatoes, and stir in Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, onion soup mix and pepper.
Step 3: Using small melon baller, stuff mushrooms with potato mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until hot and golden. Run under broiler to brown, if necessary. Serve immediately.
