  • 1/4 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For the potatoes

Instructions
For the mushrooms
  1. In a small bowl, mix the oil, soy sauce, and spices. Add the mushrooms to another small bowl, and drizzle the marinade over the mushrooms, massaging it into the mushrooms. Let sit for an hour+.
  2. Once ready, heat an oiled non-stick pan, and add the mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side over high heat, until both sides are a deep golden brown.
For the mashed potatoes

  1. Chop the potatoes into large chunks (leave skins on) and boil in a small pot with salted water for 25 minutes, or until tender

  2. While that's happening, roast your garlic** see below

  3. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain out most of the water from the pot, leaving behind 2 tablespoons of the boiling water in the pot. Add the roasted garlic, cheese, milk, and salt. Mash together with a masher or pestle until smooth and creamy. Top with butter, fresh thyme, and black pepper. Enjoy as a side to your next meal!

Recipe Notes

To roast the garlic, preheat the oven to 400F. Chop about 1/4″ from the top of the garlic head, exposing the cloves. Add this to a sheet of aluminum paper and drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the exposed head. Cover with the aluminum and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the garlic is tender. Allow to cool, & remove the garlic cloves from their skins
