Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb purple potatoes, halved
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup brie cheese, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Wash the purple potatoes thoroughly under cool running water. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, ensuring they are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved purple potatoes with olive oil, ensuring each potato is evenly coated. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This will help achieve a crispy exterior.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove and flip them to ensure even browning.
- While potatoes are roasting, clean and slice the mushrooms into even, thin slices. Sauté the mushrooms in a separate pan with a touch of olive oil until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
- After the potatoes have roasted for a total of 25-30 minutes and are fork-tender with a crispy exterior, remove them from the oven.
- Immediately top the hot potatoes with sautéed mushrooms and cubed brie cheese. The residual heat will help melt the cheese beautifully.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the brie to become soft and slightly melted.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs like thyme or chives if desired.
Tips
- Choose fresh, firm purple potatoes with vibrant color for the best visual and taste impact.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give your potatoes space to crisp up beautifully.
- Use a high-quality, creamy brie for the most luxurious melting effect.
- Sauté mushrooms until they're golden brown to maximize their rich, umami flavor.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary before roasting.
- Let the dish rest for a couple of minutes after baking to allow flavors to meld and cheese to set slightly.
- Serve immediately for the ultimate crispy potato and melty cheese experience.
