Fried Potatoes with Mushrooms
Description
The Fried Potatoes with Mushrooms recipe brings together thinly sliced russet potatoes fried in vegetable oil until a golden crust forms, while mushrooms are separately sautéed with minimal seasoning to retain their natural flavor. After frying the potatoes, garlic is added off the heat to preserve its aroma and avoid burning. The cooked mushrooms are then layered on top, and fresh chopped parsley finishes the dish with color and a mild herbaceous note.
This approach yields potatoes with a satisfying crispness and a tender interior owing to careful frying over medium-high heat and occasional gentle stirring. The mushrooms provide an earthy complement without overpowering the dish. Cooking the potatoes in the same skillet after mushrooms utilizes residual flavors and maintains efficiency.
As a versatile side, this dish pairs well with meats or can be served alone for a simple vegetarian option. The garlic and parsley enhance the modest seasoning effectively.
For best results, use a good non-stick skillet and avoid excessive stirring to allow crisp crusts to develop. Patience during frying is key to balancing texture and doneness.
Ingredients
For the mushrooms:
- 10 oz mushroom sliced
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- salt pinch
For the potatoes:
- 2 ½ lb russet potato about 5-6 medium-sized potatoes
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- salt to taste
- parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large, non-stick skillet, cook the mushrooms with 1 tbsp. of oil on medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, and stir. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into fairly thin pieces, as shown in the photo above. (I usually peel and cut the potatoes while the mushrooms are cooking).
- Add the ¼ cup of vegetable oil and potatoes to the same skillet. Fry the potatoes on medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, stirring gently every minute as the golden crust forms on the bottom.
- Once the potatoes are cooked through, turn off the heat, add the garlic and salt to taste, and give it a final (gentle!) stir.
- Place the mushrooms on top and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a good non-stick skillet to allow potatoes to crisp properly without sticking.
- Fry potatoes on medium-high heat and stir gently about once per minute to develop a golden crust.
- Be patient during frying to achieve the right balance of crispy edges and tender interiors.
- Add garlic towards the end off the heat to prevent burning and preserve flavor.
