This comforting recipe delivers gourmet-level flavor with just 45 minutes of preparation, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions. The rich, velvety sauce, made with heavy cream and vegetable broth, clings beautifully to the potatoes and mushrooms, while a hint of garlic and fresh thyme bring freshness and depth.

Rinse and halve the baby potatoes. If the potatoes are large, quarter them. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 8–10 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3 minutes to allow them to brown. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, vegetable broth, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 3–4 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked potatoes and mushrooms to the skillet. Toss them gently in the sauce to coat evenly. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm as a side dish or on its own.
