Ingredients
800g floury potatoes, thinly sliced
250g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
1 red onion, peeled and sliced
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
100g butter
3 garlic cloves, peeled and grated
1 tsp smoked paprika
40g parmesan cheese, grated
Rapeseed oil
Ground rock salt
Ground black pepper
Parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Directions
- Caramelize the Onion:
Heat a sauté pan over medium heat, add some rapeseed oil, and fry the red onion until soft. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Continue to cook slowly until the onion is caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside. - Prepare Garlic Paprika Butter:
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the grated garlic and smoked paprika, then remove from the heat. Set aside. - Layer the Potatoes and Mushrooms:
🔹Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes over the caramelized onion in the sauté pan.
🔹Brush the potatoes with the garlic paprika butter and season with salt and pepper.
🔹Add a layer of chopped mushrooms over the potatoes.
🔹Repeat layering (potatoes, butter, seasoning, and mushrooms) until you’ve used up the ingredients, finishing with a layer of potatoes on top. - Cook in the Oven:
Cover the pan with a lid and bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (fan) for about 2 hours. - Add Parmesan and Finish Cooking:
Remove the lid, sprinkle the grated parmesan over the top, increase the oven temperature to 200°C, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. - Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve as a delicious side dish!
