FAQ
1. Can I use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes?
Yes! Sweet potatoes work wonderfully and add a natural sweetness that pairs well with mushrooms.
2. Which mushrooms are best for this recipe?
Cremini, button, or baby bella mushrooms are classic choices. For a more intense flavor, try shiitake or oyster mushrooms.
3. How do I keep the potatoes crispy?
Don’t overcrowd the skillet and avoid stirring too often. Letting the potatoes sit for a few minutes at a time ensures a golden crust.
4. Can this be made vegan?
Yes — just use olive oil instead of butter and skip any cheese additions.
5. Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes, but it tastes best fresh. If prepping ahead, slightly undercook the potatoes, then reheat and finish cooking before serving.
