        Directions

        For the potatoes: Steam the potatoes in a covered saucepan with about 1 inch/2.5 cm water in the bottom, until very tender, about 30 minutes.

        For the mushrooms: Clean and quarter the mushrooms. Heat just 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and saute the mushrooms until cooked and golden. Remove from the pan. Heat the other spoonful of olive oil (adding more if you need it) and saute the onion until soft. Add the garlic for 1 minute. Deglaze with the wine and reduce to no more than a spoonful. Add the stock, thyme and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until the stock has reduced by half. Knead together the flour with the last tablespoon of butter and stir it in. Cook until the liquid has thickened to a sauce, a matter of minutes. Stir in the parsley. Spoon the mixture into a gratin dish.

        For the cheese potato top: Heat the oven to 425 degrees F/220 degrees C. Mash the potatoes with the milk and butter until smooth, adding more milk if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the diced cheese. Distribute evenly over the mushroom mixture, and smooth with the back of the spoon (if you want to be very retro-housewife, make patterns with the tines of a fork or make waves with a spoon). Sprinkle over the Parmesan. Bake the gratin until bubbling hot and golden on top, about 15 minutes.

          I usually don't watch this show but saw the topic. My daughter is a vegetarian and my wife is pescatarian so I'm always looking for recipes. I had russet potatoes I had to use soon so I made this for my wife with a combination of portobello and white mushrooms. At first taste, when it was still a two layer dish, we were unimpressed. Partially because I didn't add enough salt & pepper while cooking. Adding more, then mixing the two layers together, this became amazing. My wife had me e-mail the recipe to her the next day so she could pass it on.

          Note of warning. When you select 'print recipe', the displayed page leaves off the last, and critical line 'Bake the gratin until bubbling hot and golden on top, about 15 minutes."

          This is a great recipe. The left overs were as good as fresh out of oven. This would be a great dish to serve with a steak. My family loved it and everyone wants tohe recipe.
