Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 16 ounces, sliced Cremini mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon, fresh or dried Thyme
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons, fresh, chopped (optional for garnish) Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and become tender.
Sprinkle the thyme over the mushrooms. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it cook for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the vegetable broth and tomato paste. Mix well to combine. Bring to a simmer.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to thicken the ragout. Allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened to your liking. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter and the milk to the hot potatoes. Mash using a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt.
To serve, scoop a generous portion of mashed potatoes onto each plate. Spoon the mushroom ragout over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
