  1. This was a wonderful size dish with our pork tenderloin. Loved the mixture of potatoes and mushrooms. I could have eaten the mushroom all by themselves. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Great dish! I halved the recipe and sliced the potatoes with a mandoline so that they were of uniform size. Nice mix of flavors and simple to do. Thanks Annacia.
