Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make stewed potatoes with mushrooms in a slow cooker? Prepare the products. Mushrooms are suitable for any — forest, champignons, oyster mushrooms, both fresh and frozen. Forest mushrooms will need to be boiled beforehand. Cultured ones are easy enough to wash.
Step 2:
Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. To avoid irritating the mucous membrane of the eyes when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.
Step 3:
Gently wash the mushrooms with a sponge. Do not wet them too much — mushrooms tend to absorb moisture, which makes them watery and less tasty. Just wipe the hats and legs. Dry the mushrooms with paper towels, and then cut into quarters. Do not be too small, as the mushrooms decrease when frying.
Step 4:
Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into large cubes.
Step 5:
Turn on the slow cooker mode suitable for frying. It can be called in different ways, depending on the model. Set the time (if it is set) to 20 minutes. Warm up the appliance a little, then pour odorless vegetable oil into the bowl. Lay out the onion. Fry it, stirring, for 5-7 minutes, until golden. There is no need to close the lid.
Step 6:
Add mushrooms to the fried onion. Season them with salt and pepper. Also, with the lid open, fry the mushrooms, stirring, until the moisture evaporates. Just at this point, the program will end.
Step 7:
Put potatoes in a bowl, add salt and mix the products. You can also add your favorite spices. Pour in the water. Adjust its quantity yourself: if you want a thinner dish, add more, drier — less. Use boiled water, as the quenching mode does not bring the liquid to a boil. I poured boiling water, about half a glass.
Step 8:
Close the lid of the slow cooker and set the mode suitable for extinguishing. Set the time to at least 40 minutes (I start at 1 o'clock, I set it). After the end signal, open the lid, stir. The dish is ready.
Step 9:
Arrange the potatoes stewed with mushrooms on plates, sprinkle with fresh herbs to taste and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
Instead of fresh, you can take frozen or dried mushrooms (dried ones will need 5-6 times less than fresh ones). Frozen mushrooms can be defrosted in any convenient way (for example, in the microwave in the appropriate mode - see the instructions for your technique) and drain the liquid. Or, if the amount of liquid in the recipe is not critical, use without defrosting. Dried mushrooms should be washed well, since they are not washed before drying, and then soaked in cold water for at least 2-3 hours.
Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique.
Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
