PAN FRIED FINGERLING POTATOES WITH
WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

1-1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes (any shape, size and color), halved lengthwise

2 cups sliced mixed wild mushrooms (such as small portabella, crimini or shiitake)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large shallot, thinly sliced

1 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup chopped dried mixed wild mushrooms (half of a 1-oz. package)

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

3/4 teaspoon herbs de Provence

1/2 cup fraîche or heavy cream (buy or make this crème fraîche recipe)

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Chopped fresh thyme

Preparation

1. MELT butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. (Tenting with foil will speed up cooking.)
