Baked Potatoes with Cheese and Mushrooms

 Ingredients: -2-4 medium potatoes -champignon mushrooms, sliced with the stem included -1 ½ tablespoons grated parmesan -1 teaspoon salt -2-3 tablespoons melted butter -2-3 tablespoons herbs (parsley / thyme / dill) or 1-2 tablespoons dried herbs -4-6 tablespoons grated cheese

To prepare a delicious dish of potatoes with mushrooms and cheese, start by carefully peeling the potatoes. It is essential to choose medium-sized potatoes that are uniform to cook evenly. Once the potatoes are peeled, slice them thinly lengthwise, but make sure not to cut all the way through; leave an uncut portion of about 1-2 centimeters so that the slices stay together. To help you get the perfect slices, you can use the handles of two wooden spoons, placing them along the potato. This will act as a guide, preventing you from cutting all the way down.

After slicing the potatoes, gently separate the slices, being careful not to break them. Here comes the magic of the main ingredient: mushrooms. Choose fresh mushrooms like champignon or porcini, and slice them thinly. Place the mushroom slices between the potato slices, skillfully alternating to create a contrast of textures and intensify the flavors. Sprinkle a generous layer of grated parmesan between the mushroom and potato slices, which will add a savory taste and a delicious crust.

Carefully arrange the prepared potatoes in a baking dish, making sure not to overcrowd them. Sprinkle salt on top, which will enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients. Then, drizzle everything with melted butter, which will help brown the potatoes and intensify the flavor. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and place the dish in the oven for about 50 minutes, or until the potatoes become golden and tender.

10 minutes before it’s done, take the dish out of the oven and sprinkle fresh herbs on top, such as parsley or dill, along with grated cheese. These ingredients will add a touch of freshness and an extra burst of flavor. Put the dish back in the oven, allowing it to bake until the potatoes are fully cooked and the cheese is melted, forming a golden and appetizing crust.

This dish is served warm, sprinkled with fresh chopped green parsley, and is perfect as a main course or side dish. You can accompany it with a fresh vegetable salad, which will bring a refreshing contrast to this delicious dish. Enjoy every bite of this simple yet impressive recipe that will delight any table!
