  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make a heat wave? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can use mushrooms of any kind, as long as they are edible. I have wild mushrooms. In season, they were harvested, boiled and frozen. With such storage, they can be used in any dish immediately after defrosting. When defrosting, liquid will appear from them, which will need to be drained. Potatoes must be peeled and rinsed well in running water from contamination.

    While the mushrooms are being fried, take care of the potatoes. Cut the peeled potatoes into strips and rinse in cold water. Then drain all the water thoroughly. Why wash potatoes? Thanks to this procedure, excess starch will be washed off the potatoes and it will fall apart less when frying.

    Add the washed potatoes to the pan to the mushrooms and mix everything together. Cook the potatoes under the lid on low heat for 10-15 minutes. Be guided by the degree of readiness of potatoes. If the potatoes are easily broken with a knife or fork, then the dish is ready.

    The finished roast can be served directly in a frying pan or spread on plates. Bon appetit!

It is better to use forest mushrooms for this recipe.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .

Instead of fresh, you can take frozen or dried mushrooms (dried ones will need 5-6 times less than fresh ones). Frozen mushrooms can be defrosted in any convenient way (for example, in the microwave in the appropriate mode - see the instructions for your technique) and drain the liquid. Or, if the amount of liquid in the recipe is not critical, use without defrosting. Dried mushrooms should be washed well, since they are not washed before drying, and then soaked in cold water for at least 2-3 hours.
