Revised * Mushroom Bourdelaise Smothered Potato Steaks

This is a hearty dish reminiscent of traditional steak and mushrooms. The potato steaks are brushed with olive oil, seasoned with fresh cracked salt and pepper and roasted in a screaming hot oven until crispy and delicious.

They're then smothered in a rich sauce of red wine braised mushrooms flavored with garlic, red onion and fresh parsley.

The intent is to not to recreate the classic steak and mushrooms, but rather to re imagine the rich and decadent nature of the original in an animal friendly format.

I love potatoes and personally these are some of the best potatoes I've ever had.

Potato Steak Ingredients
2 large russet potatoes
olive oil
salt and pepper

***Revised***
My original post said to roast the potatoes at 425 F. I've since determined that broiling yields quicker and tastier results.

Wash potatoes. Do not peel. Slice into thinnish planks lengthwise. Grease a baking sheet. Add potato steaks in a single layer. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Broil on hifh until golden brown on both sides. Flipping each slice half way through to brown both sides. It'll take about 10 minutes per side, but watch them carefully to avoid burning.
