How many potatoes and mushrooms are you supposed to use?
Traci
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!

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.
