Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Portabella mushroom caps
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cups Milk (optional, for adjusting mashed potato consistency)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills. Brush each cap with olive oil on both sides and set them aside on the baking sheet.
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place the potato pieces in a large pot of heavily salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and add them to the pot with the potatoes for the last 5 minutes of cooking. This will soften the garlic and infuse it with flavor.
Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper, and mash until smooth and creamy. If the mashed potatoes are too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
Stir 1/4 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese into the mashed potatoes until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Spoon the mashed potatoes generously into the prepared portabella mushroom caps, packing them down slightly to create a mound.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the stuffed mushrooms.
Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a main course or as a hearty side dish. Enjoy!
