I made only the mushrooms tonight. Followed recipe exactly. I thought 45 min sounded too long, so they roasted for 40 min. They were AWFUL. They got thrown away. The sauce dried up in the pan, made a huge mess. Threw the pan away. Do NOT make these.

In reply to Christina. There is no butter listed in ingredients, which I thought was strange. Can't imagine potatoes without butter

In reply to Sarah F.. Maybe try using a smaller dish as well. If the mushrooms are a bit closer together in the dish that will slow the evaporation rate.

In reply to Alice.

I second this– my mushrooms were shriveled and there wasn’t any sauce left at the bottom of the pan after 45 minutes. Tasty enough, but dry. Will reduce the roasting time for the mushrooms next time.

In reply to Mel. Balsamic glaze is already reduced, so if you try to roast the mushrooms with the glaze it might burn. Instead, I would just roast the mushrooms with the garlic, thyme, and oil (and a little salt), then add the glaze after they've roasted. You can definitely add spinach to the mashed potatoes instead of kale. :)

Can I make this with balsamic glaze and spinach (instead of kale)? It’s what I have in my pantry.

The mushrooms totally steal the show and I could have gobbled them up! I misread the recipe and only had 1 lb of potatoes on hand. I had been toying with the idea of using Budget Bytes cauliflower mash so I had that in the back of my mind. I steamed up a bag of cauliflower rice (drained as much moisture out as possible!) and mixed that into the mashed potatoes before beating. I added more seasonings and used Greek low-fat yogurt instead of sour cream.

This was sooo yummy!

I accidentally ran out of balsamic vinegar so I added one part red wine vinegar to two parts balsamic and it still tasted great.

I did end up adding twice as much butter and sour cream to the potatoes as I prefer them to be richer and creamier.

10/10 would make it again!

I love this dish. It has incredibly well balanced flavors and textures. Really satisfying even though there aren’t official proteins in the dish. I added quite a bit of extra salt to the mashed potatoes and found it to be a 3 serving recipe rather than 4, but otherwise it worked really well just as is. Will definitely repeat!

This recipe is so delicious. I usually serve with grilled chicken or pork chops. I don’t make it often but question that every time I eat it.
