Fried potatoes with mushrooms and onions in a multicooker

Despite the simplicity and availability of all the ingredients, the dish turns out to be truly festive, in my opinion, I would call it a weekend dish. Let's start cooking fried potatoes with mushrooms and onions in the multicooker! Peel and slice the onion. The cutting method, of course, remains at the discretion of the hostess. But in my family, everyone loves fried onions, so there is no need to hide it with small chopping. And I chose my favorite method: try to make all the main ingredients of the dish roughly the same size. So, cut the onion in half, and then each half into 4 parts.

You can't do the same with garlic as with onions. It should release its aroma, which means it needs to be chopped. So, dice the garlic into arbitrary cubes. I have young garlic, so I didn't crush the cloves with a knife, they are incredibly fragrant at this time of year. Pour vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl (the amount I mentioned is approximate, adjust according to your family's preferences), add sliced onions and garlic. Set the Fry mode. This mode is automatically programmed for 15 minutes for me. But I don't rely on my memory (I will need to mix the vegetables a couple of times), so I set it for 5 minutes, stir, then another 5 minutes.

While the vegetables are frying in the multicooker, let's prepare the mushrooms. Different culinary sources have different approaches to preparing champignons: some recommend cleaning them, some do not clean these mushrooms at all. Over the years, I have developed my own attitude towards these favorite mushrooms: I don't specifically clean them, but while washing them under cold running water, I gently remove the excess top film with my hands. That is, I only remove what can be easily removed. Cut the washed mushrooms into 4 parts. Usually, for this dish, I take small mushrooms, but yesterday they were not available, and there were very fresh, white, but large mushrooms. So, we will cut them.

While we were dealing with the mushrooms, the multicooker has already fried the onions and garlic. We don't need them to be heavily fried, it is enough to achieve transparency of the onions.

Add mushrooms and potatoes to the partially cooked vegetables. Ideally, use small new potatoes to preserve their crispy skin. To avoid overcooking the mushrooms, slightly boil the potatoes beforehand. Mix the vegetables, mushrooms, and potatoes in a multicooker. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Close the multicooker lid and select the Fry mode. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust the cooking time if needed. After frying, you can leave the multicooker on the Keep Warm mode and add your favorite herbs to the dish.

Serve the hot fried potatoes with mushrooms and onions from the multicooker. It's a beautiful and delicious dish that's simple and hearty. Enjoy!
