Xtra Roasted Baby Potatoes & Mushroom Recipe

The X factor in cooking today- an easy-peasy recipe – Xtra Roasted Baby Potatoes & Mushroom Recipe for BlogchtterA2Z2023. Summer is here, and cooking in a hot kitchen is a punishment. I am missing my family and waiting for the time I will get to be in their midst. Here is an easy and quick, Xtra Roasted Baby Potatoes & Mushroom Recipe. Potatoes are a universal favourite and baby potatoes end up being finger-licked by everyone. I thought of making spicy Indian-style baby potatoes but then went with pan-fried potatoes with mushrooms and flavorful spices. I refrain from using excess butter or oil and compensate by adding flavorful spices to the potatoes, which makes them healthier and tastier.

We do not get very tiny potatoes, so I diced them into halves. These pan-fried baby potatoes are tender inside, and a crispy, crunchy layer surrounds their exterior. They are perfect as a main dish too for lunch or dinner. I served them with some garlic bread and they made for a sumptuous dinner. By the way, I am a big rice lover and I can eat these baby potatoes with steamed rice too.

It is very simple and easy to make and, like most of my recipes; it is a one-pan meal. I paired the potatoes with mushrooms and found that they complement each other.
