Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 cups Arugula rocket
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, add the garlic cloves, and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are boiling, clean and slice the cremini mushrooms.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with fresh thyme, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Fold the arugula rocket into the mashed potatoes until wilted but still vibrant.
Spoon the mashed potatoes onto a serving platter or individual plates, and top with the sautéed mushrooms.
Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for extra richness.
Serve warm and enjoy!
