A rich and creamy mushroom sauce served over crispy pan-fried potatoes for a comforting meatless meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby gold potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (or half-and-half for richer sauce)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tsp fresh)
  • Optional: 1 tbsp grated Parmesan for extra richness

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add potato slices in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and tender. Transfer to a serving platter.
  4. In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  5. Stir in minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  7. Slowly whisk in milk, then add heavy cream. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thick and silky.
  8. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir in Parmesan if using.
  9. Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce generously over the crispy potato rounds and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use half-and-half for a richer sauce.
  • Fresh thyme enhances flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
