Most kids love potatoes and mushrooms.
As simple as it sounds, I love the simple flavors—the buttery taste, the slightly charred potatoes, and the umami tasting mushroom. It’s absolutely delicious!

What type of potato do you recommend, Yukon Gold or Idaho in this dish. I’m looking forward to make it soon. Thank you.
Anything works.
I made adding ginger and green chilli taste was amazing
Really liked this though I did add chopped bacon and red onions. It was really easy to make and tasty. Also added Italian seasoning.
How many potatoes and mushrooms are you supposed to use?
For 2 people it says to use 8oz of potatoes (2 potatoes) and 4oz of mushrooms (1 sm. container of washed sliced mushrooms in veg. dept.) use more or less depending on how many servings ( or leftovers) you want!
Fantastic. A very simple but yet tempting dish.
I am keen to try this recipe over the weekend but I am just wondering if the potato will be well cooked with just the butter.
Should we add water ….just afraid it will burn.
The potatoes will be cooked, just make sure you cut into small squares :)
I think I owe my husband an apology. He wanted to add mushrooms to the home fries the other day but I wouldn’t let him because I was worried the kids wouldn’t eat them. But you say kids love mushrooms and spuds. So I’m going to give this a whirl. Loving it. Brown crispy edges. Yes please.
Yes, the combination is good, who would have thought? I am addicted.
These are SO my kind of taters! Love that mushroom addition…something even my hubs would eat, and that is a feat! Pinned :)
Hi Taylor, this is really good, mushrooms sauteed with butter = YUM. Mushrooms are natural MSG :)
The simplicity is what makes this recipe amazing. You can experiment with any spice you want in the butter and it will still work.
Great recipe.
