Creamy Garlic Mushrooms with Roasted Jacket Potatoes

Creamy Garlic Mushrooms with Roasted Jacket Potatoes – packed with amazing flavour this is a perfect meal for any time of the week.

Russet potatoes are perfect for roasting, so when I recently had a few small ones that needed to be used up, I knew I wanted a delicious side that would pair beautifully alongside them.

Roasting these amazing russet potatoes with just some simple sea salt for seasoning is pretty much all that is needed, because of their great flavour. 

You can roast them just as they are, but to save some time. I part cook them in the microwave, cut in half, spray with some Avocado cooking oil spray and roast until golden. It’s so much quicker this way, I even leave the skins on, because well potatoes roasted in the skin are just the best right?

Fancying something a little decadent but meat-free to serve alongside these, I couldn’t help but crave some creamy garlic mushrooms. Really simple to make and really low in syns.

Cremini mushrooms are my favourite to use for this, as they have a lovely deep brown colour and richer flavour. 

 

Typically garlic mushrooms are using sauteed in heaps of butter, so to save on the syns, I start off the sauting method using avocado cooking oil spray and then help that to get that lovely golden colour by reducing them down in stock. It’s a method I use quite often when sauteing vegetables to keep the syns low.

For the creaminess, I went for some light cream cheese (like Philadelphia), but feel free to use any store brand. Don’t use quark, it’s not creamy and will split. You want that creamy velvety taste and we don’t use much, so it’s really not that many syns per serving.

How can I add a 1/3 speed foods to this Creamy Garlic Mushrooms with Roasted Roasted Jacket Potatoes?

The speed foods are covered in this recipe, with lots of those delicious creamy garlic mushrooms. But you could always add some additional speed foods like some sauteed kale or spinach. Kale is one of my favourites to serve with this. I just saute in pan with a little garlic, add some stock and reduce down and then season with black pepper. Yummy!!

    Thanks for another fabulous recipe! I must try this one….. do you know that the equivalent potato is to a Russet. potato?. I live in the UK. We have Maris Piper, King Edward, Estima, Marfona., Desiree. I also wish I knew what the equivalent is to a Yukon gold potato, They are named in so many recipes. I never know which variety Tom replace them with. Are they a waxy potato? Thanks

    I don’t buy cream cheese but I wondered if it would taste the same with laughing cow or quark?
