      5 star recipe every time we make it! My husband requests these potatoes all the time. My mom is from Ukraine and she was very impressed with how these turned out! Love when I can impress mom with cooking from her home land. A perfect side to shashlik. Thank you Natasha for always being reliable in the kitchen! I always go to your page first when needing a recipe 🙂

      I was really disappointed the first time I tried this, just after it had baked and we were eating it fresh out of the oven.

      However, the next day, after it had sat in the fridge overnight, it tasted muc better. I’m wondering if the sauce had time to be absorbed by the potatoes and the flavors had time to blend together….

        That could be the case, Yuriy. As it sits, its had time to rest and marinate in the flavors.

      Five stars for flavor! For some reason, ours had way more cream sauce than it looks like yours does. I’d cut down on cream by about half a cup next time. I used about 2 lbs of potatoes since I wasn’t sure what a “medium” sized potato would be!

      U think adding chicken to the bottom of a dish will work? Some seared chicken thighs and just cook it a bit longer?

        Lena, I haven’t tried that option, but it might work. You might add more cream so it won’t end up dry.

      This looks so good…was thinking to do it for Esther.. have you tried baking it in the oven .. or in a crockpot? or maybe I might do the gravy part the day before..was wondering if you had any ideas? Thanks for all your recipes love them.

        I haven’t tried this recipe any other way. You could probably make the gravy part and even boil the potatoes the day before then heat them in the oven the day you’re eating them, but cover with foil when you bake since it will take longer to warm the potatoes back up. I think this might work as crock pot recipe but without testing it myself, I don’t know how much water, you’d add, how long to cook it exactly,.. and I think that’s probably too risky for a major holiday! 🙂 I hope you love the potatoes. Sorry, I couldn’t be more helpful.

      Made this couple days ago along with your mini chicken/pork katleti. Goes well together since you have all this creamy gravy to top on katleti as a sauce. Yumers! 🙂

      You think these would work well made a day in advance and reheated the next day?

        They do re-heat pretty well. You’ll have the very best results the same day they are made but they do re-heat well. 🙂

      Planning to make these potatoes for our Christmas party that we’re hosting this year at our place. I was thinking to use your mushroom gravy recipe over the potatoes (maybe with a little less flour so it wouldn’t be too thick…I just try to substitute heavy with milk as much as possible. Maybe add a half cup of heavy and the rest of milk+broth). I think it should work. I’ll have to experiment 😉 Merry Christmas!!

        I think you’ll love this recipe! Your substitutions sound like they will work but keep in mind that if the cream is thinner, it won’t coat the potatoes very well and you’ll have to make sure to mix everything just before serving if the cream goes to the bottom. Merry Christmas 🙂

      I have a question, why do you saute the onions, carrots, and mushrooms separately?

        They each take a little bit different cooking times. I think it would work though to just put them all in together, although I’d probably start with the carrots and after a minute, add onion then after a minute, add mushrooms. 🙂

          Hi Julia, it does reheat well. If you want the cream to stay creamy rather than turn to butter, it’s best to heat it slowly (not over high heat).

      Natasha! These were perfect! So yummy! I didn’t have whipping cream so I used heavy cream instead. So rich and flavorfull, could be a main course. No need for meat! 🙂
