About

Different types of mushrooms are available in the shops all through the year. We live in a mushroom-producing area in Ireland so have the freshest possible crops available. Not as good, perhaps, as the fresh field mushrooms, but a good substitute. If you can’t get oyster mushrooms, use the ordinary variety.

Method

Steam the potatoes until just tender. In a wide frying pan melt the butter and cook the mushrooms with the garlic for a few minutes. Add the potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Season and serve. You may wish to add a few tablespoons of cream but this is unnecessary.
