EASY CHEESY SKILLET SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH MUSHROOMS



Easy Cheesy Skillet Scalloped Potatoes With Mushrooms image

Too hot to turn the oven on? You can still have delicious creamy potatoes with this savory recipe. Peeling is optional, and any kind of parmesan you have is fine. Note: Thanks to the reviewers who made this the second-place winner! I've noted the things you said, and made a few adjustments. Note: This is a stovetop recipe. I do not recommend making it in the oven. Although it can be done successfully, it takes about twice as long to cook using raw potatoes. Using cooked or partially cooked potatoes does not give the sauce a chance to thicken properly. The dish also has a serious tendency to scorch in the oven.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup colby-monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 green onions, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup pimiento, drained and chopped
1 1/2 cups milk (use less for a thicker sauce)

Steps:

  • Combine potatoes, flour, rosemary, dill, basil, mozzarella, colby-jack, parmesan, salt, pepper and paprika in a large bowl.
  • Mix well and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  • Add green onions and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more.
  • Add pimentos, potato mixture and milk to skillet and stir well to mix.
  • Cook just until milk begins to bubble.
  • Reduce heat, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Don't worry if this sticks a little. As long as it hasn't scorched, just stir it up and the sauce should be fine.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for skillet potatoes because they hold their shape well and have a fluffy interior.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too many potatoes to the skillet, they will steam instead of fry.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet. This will help prevent the potatoes from sticking.
  • Don't move the potatoes around too much. Let them sit in the skillet undisturbed for a few minutes at a time so they can develop a nice crust.
  • Season the potatoes generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Skillet potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a skillet of potatoes that will be sure to please everyone at your table.
