Potatoes with mushrooms in cream and herbs is a cozy and aromatic dish of European cuisine, harmoniously combining creamy flavor, mushroom aroma, and freshness of herbs. Its roots trace back to traditional home recipes where cream was used to add tenderness to vegetables. Potatoes soaked in cream and garlic aroma become surprisingly soft, while mushrooms add depth and richness to the taste. The baked crust gives the dish an appetizing texture, while fresh parsley refreshes and highlights its creamy-mushroom base. This versatile dish is perfect for cozy family dinners as well as festive tables.

Ingredients

• Potato: 8 pc
• Champignons: 400 g
• Garlic: 4 clove
• Parsley: 1 bunch
• Olive oil: 5 tbsp
• Cream 40%: 300 ml
• Salt: to taste

Cooking steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Clean and wash the potatoes, then slice them thinly (2–3 mm). Rinse the potatoes well to remove starch and let them drain.

   Required ingredients:

   • Potato: 8 pieces

2. Heat oil in a thick-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and stir with a wooden spoon to coat all slices with oil. Add salt and pepper.

   Required ingredients:

   • Olive oil: 5 tablespoon
   • Potato: 8 pieces
   • Salt:  to taste
   • Ground black pepper:  to taste

3. Meanwhile, we slice the mushrooms.

   Required ingredients:

   • Champignons: 400 g

4. We continue to mix until we see the potato slices become sticky, as the potato starts to release starch. At the same time, we heat the pan for the mushrooms, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, place the mushrooms, and salt them.

   Required ingredients:

   • Olive oil: 5 tablespoon
   • Champignons: 400 g
   • Salt:  to taste

5. As soon as the potato slices become sticky, add garlic and pour in cream just enough to completely cover the slices, but not more, as the taste will be less fatty, yet still rich and creamy.

   Required ingredients:

   • Garlic: 4 cloves
   • Cream 40%: 300 ml

6. Reduce the heat and cook the potatoes for about five more minutes, until the cream thickens a bit.

7. We take the cooked mushrooms off the heat.

8. Finely chop the parsley. Remove the pan with potatoes from the heat and check the spices for taste. At this point, you can add salt or pepper if their amount seems insufficient. Stir in the mushrooms and parsley. Send to the oven for 10-15 minutes to brown the crust.

   Required ingredients:

   • Parsley: 1 bunch
   • Salt:  to taste
   • Ground black pepper:  to taste
   • Champignons: 400 g
