Potato and Mushroom Lasagna www.bellalimento.com

If you didn’t read the title of this post and only saw the photo, would you be surprised to know that isn’t pasta between the layers of mushrooms? That it is potatoes. Yes, potatoes. Meticulously hand cut potatoes that appear to be pasta. Making this dish, gluten free, grain free and vegetarian. Before you faint, don’t worry. No flavor was sacrificed at all, there’s plenty of butter in there. One thing I always have on hand in my pantry are potatoes. Do you know how many dishes you can make with potatoes? A LOT (yes that’s a technical term). Last year I had the opportunity to fly to Idaho where I had a chance to visit potato fields, meet potato farmers (good folks), ride a very large horse on the side of a mountain and somehow managed not to fall off and yes taste potatoes prepared more ways than you can shake a stick at. Good thing I love potatoes.

While this magnificent meatless Monday meal isn’t difficult to make there are a few steps that involve some time. The preparation starts with sauce. I’m a sucker for sauces and this one is no exception. The foundation of the dish are Idaho potatoes. Russets to be specific. When you’re shopping for this recipe, pick the largest potatoes you can find. Why? We’re going to cut them into rectangles so we need some girth to those babies. If you have a large mandoline it would come in handy. I say would because I only have a small mandoline so I had to put my knife skills to good use. They need to be as close to the same size as possible since they’ll be stacked so I skipped the wine during that portion.

The filling. It’s just that, filling. Mushrooms. Butter and herbs. How can that be bad? Once you have your layers stacked it’s time to sauce them up. It’s what pulls this dish all together and if you’re anything like me you’ll have a baguette nearby to get every. single. drop.

    I live in Idaho, and never heard of using potatoes this way. I will have to try this, as it sounds fantastic, and looks super delicious. I happen to have 4 huge Idaho russets on hand right now, and mushrooms. I just need some wine… Beautiful presentation!

    I am happy to hear you enjoyed our often forgotten state.

    Mushrooms in lasagna – interesting twist, along with the potatoes. I know a mushroom lover I simply must try this for. And of course, I’m curious myself about this combination! 🙂
