Notes
- Potato Selection Matters: Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the crispiest, most golden-brown results.
- Oil Temperature Control: Maintain medium heat to ensure even browning without burning the potatoes or mushrooms.
- Moisture Management: Pat mushrooms and potatoes dry before cooking to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Use olive oil instead of butter to make the dish suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
