Thoroughly enjoyed these potatoes. I had dried Chanterelles so used them. Really tasty and will be made again! Thanks for posting. Made for Culinary Quest 2014

Potatoes, mushrooms and onions are a serious trio flavour-wise! Will definitely make this dish again.

I had a package of asst dried mushrooms so used it. The mushrooms added a pleasing woody flavor and chewy texture to the potatoes. I julianned the potatoes on a mandoline so had thin and slightly crispy potatoes. I would definitely make these again. Made for Culinary Quest 2014

What a truly pleasing flavor the dried mushrooms brought to these yummy potatoes. I made using mixed dried wild mushrooms which brought a slightly chewy texture and delightful flavor. Thanks for the post.
