Method 3 Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. After cooking the unpeeled potatoes until tender, drain them and place in an oiled oven-safe dish. Using a potato masher, smash each potato until flattened but still in one piece. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until golden.

  2. 2

    While the potatoes bake, finely shred the mushrooms, garlic, and herbs in a food processor (or by hand), then mix with the seasonings.

  3. 3

    Remove the dish from the oven. Spread the mushroom mixture over the potatoes. Scatter pieces of butter on top, return to the oven, and bake until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot!
