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.
