What Mushroom Gravy is Made Of

The mushroom for this recipe only requires mushrooms, carrots, onions, heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper. Typically, mushroom gravy requires flour and some heavy whisking action. But, since you are going to pour this gravy right over your potatoes before you bake them, you can skip the flour step all together! The natural starches from the potatoes will thicken the gravy naturally as the dish cooks in the oven.

How to Make Mushroom Gravy From Scratch

Making your own mushroom gravy for this dish is super simple. Follow these simple steps to get the creamiest gravy to smother your boiled potatoes in:

• In a frying pan set to medium-high heat, sautee your onions, carrots and mushrooms in olive oil or butter until golden brown. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the whipping cream directly to the pan and bring to a boil.
• Pour directly over your boiled potatoes in an oven safe baking dish.

Make Mushroom Gravy Ahead of Time

Make your mushroom gravy a day in advance if you like. Letting the gravy marinate in the fridge overnight will make the flavors even more pronounced! When your potatoes are boiled and ready to be smothered, simply bring a saucepan to medium heat and reheat your gravy, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t burn to the bottom of the pan. Place your boiled potatoes into an oven safe baking dish and smother with your gravy while it’s piping hot.

Hot tip: Roast your potatoes immediately after you pour your gravy on top. This will yield the best texture and will help the top crisp up nicely.

Best Way To Reheat Potatoes with Cream and Mushrooms

Reheat your Potatoes with Cream and Mushrooms in either the microwave or the oven:

• Microwave: Warm up your potatoes in the microwave for one minutes and give them a stir. Repeat in one minute increments until heated through.
• Oven: Place in the oven at 200℉ for 15 minutes, or until heated through.
