Ingredients

500g Jersey Royal potatoes, scrubbed and halved
250g wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Prepare the potatoes by placing them in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
Stir in the thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Toss gently to combine with the mushrooms.
Melt the butter in the skillet, stirring to coat the potatoes and mushrooms evenly.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Additional Notes
