Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 16 ounces, sliced Cremini mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon, fresh or dried Thyme
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons, fresh, chopped (optional for garnish) Parsley
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and become tender.

Step 5

Sprinkle the thyme over the mushrooms. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it cook for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the vegetable broth and tomato paste. Mix well to combine. Bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to thicken the ragout. Allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened to your liking. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter and the milk to the hot potatoes. Mash using a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 9

To serve, scoop a generous portion of mashed potatoes onto each plate. Spoon the mushroom ragout over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
