How do you make potato patties with mushroom gravy? Peel the washed potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender. Press the hot potatoes through a sieve and mix in the egg yolks. Shape the potato mixture into patties, roll them in breadcrumbs, and fry in a skillet with hot vegetable oil. Then warm the patties in the oven for about 10 minutes. Soak the dried mushrooms in cold water for 3 hours, then cook them, unsalted, in the same water. Cook the flour in half the butter until lightly toasted, let it cool slightly, then whisk in 2 cups of the mushroom broth. Simmer the sauce at a gentle boil for 20 minutes. Fry the chopped onion in the remaining butter, then add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes. Season the mushrooms and onion with salt and cook for about 15 minutes. Serve the potato patties with the mushroom gravy. Enjoy!
One thing to keep in mind: the wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe, so choose one that suits what you're cooking.
Instead of fresh mushrooms, you can use frozen or dried (you'll need about 5-6 times less dried than fresh). Thaw frozen mushrooms any convenient way (for example, in the microwave on the right setting — check your appliance's manual) and drain the liquid. Or, if the amount of liquid in the recipe doesn't matter much, use them without thawing. Dried mushrooms should be rinsed well, since they aren't washed before drying, then soaked in cold water for at least 2-3 hours.
Every cooking oil is only good up to a certain point — its smoke point, where it starts to burn and form harmful compounds, including carcinogens. Keep an eye on your frying temperature and pick an oil suited to high heat.
