When purchasing, pay attention to the surface of the fruit. It should be strong and smooth. The inside of the good fungus is dry and homogeneous.

In stores and supermarkets, choose young mushrooms, without any damage.
Important: do not buy mushrooms from strangers at spontaneous markets. It is safe to buy them only in stores, greenhouses, and specialized kiosks.

For additional aroma and taste, add a little garlic and green onions. Let's take champignons from mushrooms. If desired, instead of champignons, you can use oyster mushrooms, honey mushrooms, chanterelles, etc.

- Fresh champignons – 200-250 g.
- Green onions – 3-4 pods;
- Garlic – 2-3 cloves;

Some people cut it into cubes, others into thin cubes or slices. There are a lot of options, and each has its fans. Focus on your taste.
Next you need to chop the green onions like this. If you wish, you can use just onions, but the taste of the dish will be different.
Wash the mushrooms and cut them in any convenient way.
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan, add onion. Fry for a few minutes.
Now you need to add mushrooms to the onions. Fry and stir over medium heat until the mushrooms darken.
The champignons decreased in size, darkened and became softer. Place them together with the onions in a plate.
Pour a couple of tablespoons of oil into the pan and add the chopped potatoes. Fry and stir occasionally until browned.
Place the mushrooms in the potatoes, squeeze out the garlic, add salt and pepper. Continue frying, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are completely cooked. Usually at the end it is customary to cover with a lid so that the potato pieces are thoroughly steamed from the inside.

In addition to mushrooms and potatoes, there are hot peppers, tomatoes, herbs and many, many aromatic seasonings. Spices, of course, are not for everyone, and therefore, if you don’t like the same turmeric, then you don’t have to add it.
- Potatoes – 600-900 g.
- Fresh or frozen champignons – 400 g.
- Tomato – 1 large;

First you need to prepare all the products. Peel and cut the potatoes. Chop mushrooms, onions, tomatoes (not too thinly and finely).
You can buy garlic-ginger paste ready-made, or you can easily make it yourself. Peel a few cloves of garlic and a small root of fresh ginger (we use 50% garlic and 50% ginger). Next, grind it all in a blender until pureed.
Pour a few tablespoons of vegetable oil into the frying pan. Add the cumin seeds and heat for a few minutes until fragrant.
Now add the potato pieces to this fragrant oil. Fry and stir gently with a spatula until an appetizing blush appears.
This is how the potatoes should turn out, and they are still quite raw inside.
Add onions and peppers to the frying potatoes (cut them or not - at your discretion). Add 1-2 tablespoons of spicy paste here. Fry for a few minutes.
Now add the chopped champignons, continue frying and stir occasionally with a spatula.
The mushrooms and onions have settled, add all the seasonings. Also don't forget to add salt. Ground seasonings will absorb the fragrant oil.

Add chopped herbs and fry over low heat for a few more minutes. That's it, you can try. Of course, if you don't like spicy food, this dish will seem too fiery, but that's how it is by design.
Let me note again that nothing prevents you from reducing the amount or even eliminating any spices.

How to fry potatoes with mushrooms in a slow cooker (video)
And in this short but very detailed video you will see all the intricacies of cooking in a slow cooker.
Tips and notes
- Mushrooms can be used not only fresh (frozen), but also dried. To do this, the mushrooms are first soaked in water (30-60 minutes), and then boiled for about 10-15 minutes. And then the whole process of cooking is the same.
- If you use wild mushrooms picked by hand, they must first be soaked in salt water (1-2 hours). This is in order to “drive out” worms and bugs that may be inside the caps and legs. It is also advisable to cook these mushrooms for 15-20 minutes
- You should not cut the potatoes too thinly or too finely, as they will fall apart during the frying process, and as a result, a “porridge” may form.
- Mushrooms and potatoes should be fried separately from each other. In different pans or in turns. And only at the very end they need to be mixed and simmered for another 5-10 minutes.
- Don't forget about vegetables: bell peppers, cabbage, onions, garlic, eggplants, white cabbage. This is additional nutritional value, taste, aroma, and appearance.
- Well, of course, you can add bacon, lard, ham or whole pieces of meat to the potatoes and mushrooms.

Answers on questions
Why do chanterelles taste bitter? Bitterness occurs as a result of long-term storage or improper freezing. You can get rid of the unpleasant taste by sprinkling the mushrooms with vinegar and rinsing them under running water. If the chanterelles were frozen later than 2 hours after collection, it is recommended to boil them before frying.
How to reduce the calorie content of fried potatoes with mushrooms? The simple answer is to eat less. But seriously, you can also replace frying with stewing or baking. It is also recommended to use new potatoes - they do not have much starch. 100 g of young fruits contain only 65 kcal, while old root vegetables contain 80 kcal per 100 g raw. Also add less salt than usual. Unfortunately, this is a tasty, but not exactly low-calorie dish.
