How to Make It

  • 1

    Scrub 600g of potatoes and cut them into uniform 2cm cubes, then pat them dry with a towel to ensure maximum crunch.

  • 2

    Slice 500g of mushrooms into thick pieces and sauté them in a hot dry pan until they release their water and begin to brown.

  • 3

    Add 20g of butter to the mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes until fragrant, then remove from the pan.

  • 4

    Heat the remaining 20g of butter in the same pan, add the potatoes, and fry over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring only occasionally to achieve a golden crust.

  • 5

    Finely chop 2 onions and add them to the potatoes, cooking until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 8 minutes.

  • 6

    Return the mushrooms to the pan, season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper, garnish with chopped dill, and serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fried Mushrooms with Potatoes?

Fried Mushrooms with Potatoes, or Zharenye Griby s Kartoshkoy, is a quintessentially Russian comfort dish. It is a hearty sauté of potatoes and mushrooms, often enjoyed in late summer and autumn when forest mushrooms are plentiful.

Can I use any mushrooms?

While forest mushrooms provide the most authentic earthy flavor, cremini or white button mushrooms work well for year-round availability.

How do I prevent the potatoes from getting mushy?

Avoid overloading the pan and do not salt the potatoes until the final stage of cooking, as salt draws out moisture and softens the starch.

What is the best potato variety for frying?

Choose a waxy or all-purpose potato like Yukon Gold, as they hold their shape better than starchy baking potatoes during the frying process.

Should I cover the pan while frying?

Keep the pan uncovered to allow steam to escape; covering creates moisture, which will steam the potatoes rather than creating the desired crispy crust.
