Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button mushrooms or cremini)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for richness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 10-12 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Mushrooms and Onion: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until softened and translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
- Add Garlic and Seasoning: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and stir gently to coat the potatoes in the creamy sauce. If desired, stir in a tablespoon of butter for extra richness.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
