Thank you sweet baby Jesus for potatoes! This recipe is a winner. Easy to make but takes a bit more time to cook - but can I just tell you, wait it out. You will not be sorry. I really don't even know how to describe the taste of this. It's like scalloped potatoes but better! I know, I know you didn't think it got better than scalloped potatoes. But just imagine your scalloped potatoes had booze in them. Whoa, I just blew your mind didn't I - actually it's Nigella that blew both our minds.
Now this recipe, like I said, is easy enough. Chop potatoes, then boil them in milk and wine. Chop mushrooms and saute with garlic (this is a substitute in place of using garlic oil). Then stir everything in together and bake for 30 minutes (Nigella says 45 but trust me it doesn't take that long). The addition of the wine makes this dish a wonderful curiosity of deliciousness in your mouth. That's the only way I can think to describe it. And the rating for comfort food on this is about 1000.
I wasn't even planning to make this tonight - but I decided around 230 or so that I would. I checked the recipe online to see what ingredients I needed to pick up and was pleasantly surprised that I already had everything I needed. Which just makes this recipe that much better. People will think you slaved over this but the hardest part is waiting to pull it out of the oven because the aroma is making you salivate. The next time you are making one of those traditional North American Family dinners make this!!!! I beg you. Your family begs you.
