Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
  • Oyster mushrooms will absorb a lot of water during washing. When you start cooking the mushrooms, they will release the water. Don't pour the water out. That's a flavorful juice, and the potatoes will absorb any excess liquid.
  • Browning the potatoes are an optional step. It's not required, but will add extra flavor, and give the potatoes a nice texture.
  • Cutting the potatoes in wedges is option; I find it helps hold their shape well.
