Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- olive oil
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 pound cremini or other mushrooms
- sour cream
- fresh dill
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss potatoes with a generous amount of olive oil, salt, and freshly ground pepper and spread them out on the prepared sheet in one layer.
- Roast for 30 minutes on the first side and 10 minutes on the second, until golden all over.
- While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Once hot, add onions and season with salt and pepper, cooking and stirring until soft and deeply golden throughout, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Scoop onions from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
- Rewarm the empty pan over medium-high heat and once very hot, add 1 more tablespoon of butter.
- Once melted, add mushrooms in as flat of a layer as possible and don't move them for 2 to 3 minutes until browned underneath.
- Stir, spread flat again, and repeat the browning process once or twice.
- Add minced garlic and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, continuing to cook until any liquid expelled from the mushrooms has cooked off and mushrooms are tender, a few minutes more.
- Add reserved onions and the last tablespoon of butter, stirring to combine and rewarming the mushrooms.
- Arrange roasted potatoes on a platter and heap with mushrooms and onions.
- Sprinkle with fresh dill and serve with a generous dollop of sour cream.
