Potato Mush Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain.
• In a small saucepan heat butter and milk over low heat until butter is melted. Using a potato masher or electric beater, slowly blend milk mixture into potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil.
• (I like those counter-top plug-in styles for this recipe).
• Put potatoes in skillet with onion, green pepper and bacon sprinkled over the top.
• Cover and let steam until potatoes are softening up, flipping the concoction occasionally.
• When potatoes are very soft, take the lid off, and let the whole thing fry until the potatoes are getting crispy.
• When the spuds have crisped to your liking, turn the skillet off and indulge your'fat tooth'!

Steps:

• Warm the canola oil and butter in large saute pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook slowly, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their juices. Continue cooking until all their moisture evaporates.
• Add the shallots and cook for 3 minutes. Strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs and add to the pan; discard the stems. Season with the salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss until well coated.
• Place 2 medium nonstick saute pans over medium heat. Place 1 potato slice in the center of each pan. Use one-quarter of the potatoes per pan, carefully form circles of slightly overlapping potato slices around the center slices, letting them fall slightly over the edge of the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 minutes. If any gaps form between the slices, patch with slices cut to fit the gap.
• Place 1/4 of the mushroom mixture in the center of each galette and evenly spread it out to cover the potatoes. As the potatoes become soft and flexible, begin folding them inward so that they slightly enclose the mushrooms and form a perfect disk-shaped galette. Cook for 25 minutes, turning occasionally so that the potatoes do not burn or become to brown.
• Serve once the galette is crisp and holds its shape, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In buttered shallow baking dish, layer potatoes, onion, and mushrooms.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper and tarragon.

• Remove foil, continue baking 30 minutes longer, or until the potatoes are tender.
• Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash (do not add butter or milk)., In a large skillet, saute onion and mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter for 3-4 minutes or until just tender. Stir into potatoes along with sour cream, pepper and remaining salt. , Spoon into a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese; dot with remaining butter. , Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and golden brown.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine soup, milk and onion. Stir in the potatoes. Pour into a 1-1/2-qt. baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Steps:

• Warm the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add half the mushrooms, season with salt, and brown for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Meanwhile, spread the potatoes on a plate or a shallow bowl and microwave for 3 to 5 minutes; they should be about halfway cooked, not fully. (If you don't have a microwave, you can parcook in salted boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes instead.) Transfer the first batch of mushrooms to a plate, add a little more oil if the pan is dry, and brown the second batch the same way, seasoning with salt and transferring them to the plate when done.
• Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the butter to the pot, then the onion. Season with salt and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until the onion just begins to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes, until the onion is soft and the garlic is fragrant. Reduce the heat to low and add the sweet and smoked paprikas; stir well to combine the spices with the onion. Add the wine, increase the heat to medium and let it come to a simmer while you scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the vegetable stock and the crushed tomatoes, then the potatoes and mushrooms, along with any liquid that accumulated on the plate. Season generously with black pepper. Increase the heat to high to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 15 minutes.
• Uncover the pot and cook for about 5 minutes more, until the potatoes are fully tender and the liquid has reduced a bit. Meanwhile, combine the sour cream and flour in a medium bowl, then whisk a few ladlefuls of the hot liquid into the sour cream mixture. Reduce the heat to low, then add the sour cream mixture and herbs to the pot. Stir well, and adjust the texture of the stew with up to ½ cup of water if it is too thick for your taste. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the onion and potato. Cover, then cook over a low heat for 5 mins until the potatoes start to soften. Throw in the aubergine and mushrooms, then cook for a few more mins.
• Stir in the curry paste, pour over the stock and coconut milk. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins or until the potato is tender. Stir through the coriander and serve with rice or naan bread.
