This is a quick, weeknight post about one of my favorite quick, weeknight recipes. I created it on the fly one evening while craving something healthy but comforting.
Although really easy to put together with just a handful of ingredients, my Peppered Mushroom-Potato Stir Fry packs a huge flavor wallop, thanks mainly to the ground black pepper.
It's also quite versatile- as most potato dishes are. So here it is: hope you'll try it!

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a cast-iron or non-stick skillet.
- Stir-fry the onions until they start to brown.
- Add the garlic, curry leaves and black pepper and stir for a minute.
- Add the mushrooms and stir to coat with the oil and pepper.
- Add the drained potatoes. Stir occasionally until the potatoes are golden-brown.
- Salt to taste. Serve hot!

Vaishali I'm talking about the white button mushrooms too. When I make mushroom soup, while sauteeing it I get an unpleasant odor. Maybe it's just me! Since my son love mushroom soup I either get the canned one or close my nose while preparing it myself.
Vaishali
Mansi, Thanks! I hope you do.
Madhavi, Welcome, and thanks.
Saswati, Sia, Srikar's kitchen, Liz: Thanks!
Uma, Thanks, dear. Sorry to hear, though, you don't like mushrooms. I love the texture and the fact that they take on the flavors of spices as beautifully as they do.
Madhuram, I guess you're talking about the earthy smell that "meatier" mushrooms like portabella have? In that case, you might want to try the white button mushrooms which are really tender and don't have the earthy smell.
Madhavi, You're welcome!
Sagari, Thanks!
Sagari
love the combo vishali
Madhavi
Thanxx Vaishali for visiting :))
madhuram
Your welcome Vaishali. Even though I want to start cooking mushrooms a lot more than I am actually doing now, somehow the smell does not appeal to me. Do you have any tips to avoid the smell? Or maybe I should get used to it, I guess!
Uma
even though I am not a fan of mushrooms, the stir-fry looks wonderful, Vaishali. Delicious! Congrats on your award too.
