Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

500 g small potatoes

200 g green beans

250 g brown mushrooms

1 garlic clove

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp miso paste

200 ml cooking cream

1 tsp vegetable broth powder

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

Pinch of nutmeg

3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Wash the potatoes well and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Boil them in salted water for about 15 minutes, until they are just slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Trim the green beans and cook them in salted boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, until just tender. Drain and set aside.

Clean the mushrooms and cut them into halves or quarters. Finely chop the garlic.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they are nicely golden brown.

Add the chopped garlic and cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant.

In a small bowl, stir together the cooking cream, smoked paprika, miso paste, and vegetable broth powder until smooth.

Add the cooked potatoes and green beans to the skillet and gently toss them with the mushrooms.

Pour the cream mixture over the vegetables and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything well.

Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Finish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.

Variations

There are plenty of easy ways to adapt this dish to your taste or what you have in your kitchen.

For extra protein, add chickpeas or white beans to the skillet. They blend well with the creamy sauce and make the meal even more filling.

To make it even more flavorful, try adding a sliced onion or shallot along with the mushrooms. This creates a sweeter, deeper base.

You can swap the green beans for broccoli, peas, or zucchini if needed. Each one gives the dish a slightly different texture while keeping it fresh and hearty.

For a vegan version, use a plant-based cooking cream and make sure your miso paste and broth powder are fully vegan.

A little grated cheese on top can also be delicious if you want a richer finish. Parmesan-style hard cheese or a mild shredded cheese both work well.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, warm the skillet gently over medium-low heat until heated through. You can add a small splash of cream, milk, or water if the sauce has thickened too much in the fridge.

You can also reheat individual portions in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until hot.

Freezing is possible, but the creamy sauce may change slightly in texture after thawing. For the best taste and consistency, this dish is best enjoyed fresh or within a few days.

FAQs

Can I use larger potatoes instead of small potatoes?

Yes, you can. Just cut them into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.

Do I need to peel the potatoes?

No, peeling is optional. If the potatoes are well washed, the skins add texture and extra flavor.

What type of mushrooms works best?

Brown mushrooms are a great choice because they have a deeper flavor, but white mushrooms or cremini also work very well.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat it gently before serving.

What can I use instead of cooking cream?

You can use heavy cream, light cream, or a plant-based cream alternative depending on your preference.

Is miso paste necessary?

Miso paste adds a rich savory depth, but if you do not have it, you can leave it out and slightly increase the broth seasoning.

How do I keep the mushrooms from getting soggy?

Cook them over medium-high heat and avoid overcrowding the pan so they can brown properly instead of steaming.

Can I add more vegetables?

Absolutely. Spinach, broccoli, peas, or zucchini are all good additions.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

It can be, as long as your miso paste, broth powder, and cooking cream are all certified gluten-free.

What should I serve with Kartoffel-Pilz-Pfanne mit Bohnen?

It works well on its own, but you can also serve it with a side salad, crusty bread, or a simple cucumber salad.
