Mashed Potatoes with Cutlet

Mashed potatoes with a pan-fried cutlet is the kind of meal that reads as home cooking to almost everyone who grew up eating it. There’s nothing fancy about it, and that’s exactly the point — soft, buttery mash and a crisp-edged, juicy cutlet complement each other in both texture and flavor without any need for embellishment.

Good mash comes down to the right potatoes and warm milk. Starchy potato varieties mash up fluffier than waxy, salad-style ones, and pouring cold milk into hot mashed potatoes can make them gluey, so it’s worth warming the milk before adding it.

Mushroom potato soup is the kind of dish that comes together almost on autopilot, yet somehow always feels like real home cooking. Button mushrooms bring plenty of flavor without a long simmer, and the potatoes make the soup filling and satisfying without needing any meat at all.

The trick to real depth of flavor is browning the mushrooms properly before the broth goes in. Mushrooms simmered straight in liquid taste fairly flat, but sautéing them until golden and letting their moisture cook off first builds a much richer, more savory base.
