  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 1/2 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound crimini mushrooms, halved if large
1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms,* ground to powder in blender
3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Combine potatoes and 2 tablespoons oil in large bowl; toss to coat. Transfer potatoes to prepared sheet. Roast until tender and brown, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add crimini mushrooms; sauté until brown and tender, about 12 minutes. (Potatoes and mushrooms can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand separately at room temperature.)

    Step 3

    Add potatoes and remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet with mushrooms. Sauté over medium-high heat until potatoes are crisp and heated through, about 6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with porcini mushroom powder; toss to coat. Transfer to bowl, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

    Step 4

    *Dried porcini mushrooms are available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and many supermarkets.
