Instructions:
-
Prepare Roasting Pan: Start by greasing a 9×11 glass roasting pan generously with butter. This ensures a rich, buttery flavor and prevents sticking.
-
-
Layer Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into wedges and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared roasting pan, placing them skin side down for optimal crispiness.
-
Add Onions: Wedge the Spanish onion and separate the pieces. Place them between the potato wedges to infuse flavor throughout the dish.
-
Season Potatoes: Dot the potatoes with additional pats of butter for richness. Sprinkle freshly ground pepper and seasoning salt over the potatoes for a burst of flavor.
-
Bake Potatoes: Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F until the potatoes are fork-tender. This typically takes around 1 hour.
-
Prepare Mushrooms: While the potatoes are baking, wash the portabella mushrooms and drain them thoroughly. Trim the tips off the stems and slice the mushrooms to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
-
Cook Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt a generous amount of butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Season with pepper and a dash of hickory smoke salt.
-
Reduce Mushrooms: Cover the skillet with a large lid and cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until they reduce in size and become tender. Set aside once done.
-
Prepare Cheese: Slice the medium cheddar cheese into slices approximately 5/8 inch thick. These will be layered on top of the dish to create a gooey, cheesy finish.
-
Crisp Potatoes: Once the potatoes are fork-tender, remove the aluminum foil and place the pan under the broiler. This step adds a crispy texture to the potatoes.
-
Layer Mushrooms: Spread the cooked mushrooms evenly over the crisped potatoes. This adds a savory depth of flavor to the dish.
-
Bake Again: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors together.
-
Add Cheese: After 10 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and layer the slices of cheddar cheese on top of the mushrooms and potatoes.
-
Broil Cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan or Romano cheese over the top layer of cheddar. Place the pan back under the broiler and watch closely until the cheese is fully melted and lightly browned.
-
Serve: Once the cheese is bubbly and golden, remove the dish from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
