Hot Potato Fry

This Hot Potato Fry is a vibrant and satisfying side dish that combines the comforting heartiness of potatoes with the earthy depth of mushrooms. The potatoes are cut into bite-sized chunks and stir-fried until golden and tender, creating a perfect texture contrast with the soft, juicy mushrooms. Aromatics like crushed garlic and a hint of heat from chile cream cheese or fresh chiles infuse the dish with robust flavor. While tagged as Mediterranean, the inclusion of avocado, cilantro, and Thai sweet chili sauce gives it a fresh, zesty twist that brightens the savory profile. It&# 226;ÂÂs an excellent vegetarian option that pairs well with grilled meats or stands alone as a hearty main. Quick to prepare and packed with flavor, this dish is ideal for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Note

If Chile Cream Cheese is not on hand, you can substitute it with diced plain cream cheese and add 1/2 teaspoon of chopped hot fresh red chiles for heat.

For a vegan version, omit the cheeses or use a vegan cheese alternative.

Ensure the potatoes are cut into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Add the avocado at the very end to prevent it from becoming mushy.
