- A pinch of salt (for boiling)
- 40 grams of butter
For the Mushroom Filling:
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 500 grams of mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tablespoons of dry wine
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/3 teaspoon of black pepper
For the Sauce:
- 300 ml of milk
- 60 grams of butter
- 1 teaspoon of potato seasoning
- A bunch of parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel and cut the potatoes into medium-sized chunks.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt.
- Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 15–20 minutes, or until tender.
- Drain the potatoes and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it turns translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, letting its aroma infuse the oil.
3. Cook the Mushrooms
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.
- Pour in the dry wine, and season with salt and black pepper.
- Simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the wine to blend with the mushrooms.
4. Combine and Season
- Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the mushrooms.
- Pour in the milk and add 60 grams of butter. Stir until the butter melts, creating a creamy sauce.
- Sprinkle in the potato seasoning and mix everything thoroughly to coat the potatoes and mushrooms.
5. Finish with Fresh Herbs
- Stir in the chopped parsley to add a burst of freshness.
- Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve
- Transfer the savory mushroom and potato mixture to a serving dish.
- Serve warm as a hearty main dish or a flavorful side, and enjoy!
Notes
- Choosing Potatoes: Starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold work best for soaking up the creamy sauce.
- Dry Wine Substitute: If you prefer not to use wine, vegetable broth or a splash of lemon juice works as a substitute.
- Extra Creaminess: Add a dollop of sour cream or heavy cream to the sauce for a richer texture.
- Customizable Flavor: Sprinkle in some smoked paprika or grated Parmesan for extra depth.
- Make It Vegan: Replace butter with vegan butter, milk with plant-based milk, and skip the wine if desired.
