Classy Chanterelle Mushrooms And Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Add potatoes to the pot; stir in mustard, olive oil, and thyme. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt; cook until mushrooms begin to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add wine to deglaze skillet.
• Add cooked potatoes to the skillet with the mushrooms and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and top with crispy sage leaves.

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms: Fill the sink or a large bowl with cold water. Lay out some clean kitchen towels. Working with a few at a time, dunk the mushrooms in the water and gently swish to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water and transfer to the towels to dry until excess water has been absorbed. Use your hands to tear any very large mushrooms into halves or quarters.
• In a medium-size heavy pot with a lid, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms will first give off a lot of liquid and then it will begin to evaporate. Raise the heat as needed to keep the liquid at a fast boil.
• In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sour cream and salt. When the liquid in the pot has mostly evaporated, stir in the cream mixture and bring to a simmer. Stir in the potatoes and return to a simmer. Partly cover the pot, and let simmer gently for 1 hour. Check and adjust the heat occasionally to make sure the mixture is simmering, not boiling.
• After 1 hour, test the potatoes. If they are still firm, keep simmering until they are just cooked through.
• When the potatoes are just cooked through, uncover the pot and raise the heat to a lively simmer. Cook until the braising liquid reduces and begins to caramelize, 10 to 20 minutes. It will turn golden brown and thick, like a cream sauce. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Toward the end, stir often to prevent the liquid at the bottom of the pot from scorching.
• Serve hot, mopping up the sauce with crusty bread, if desired.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until very soft, drain and return to the pot.
• Mash the potatoes and stir in the butter then the chicken broth, adding 1/4 cup at a time. You may not need the entire cup. Stir until you get the consistency you like.
• Heat a frying pan and add the olive oil.
• Saute the mushrooms and garlic and season with salt and pepper.
• When the mushrooms are soft, which will take about 15 minutes, add this mixture to the mashed potatoes and drizzle with the truffle oil. Serve and top with parsley.
