Oh boy! It’s time to plan the weekend’s braai or the weekly feast for your family. You definitely need some potatoes for the occasion and that means that potato bake is often on the menu. However, you can now make another classic South African favourite variation, the cheesy potato bake with mushrooms. With some tender potatoes, creamy sauce, meaty mushrooms and stringy cheese, you’ve got a real treat ready in the oven just waiting to be gobbled up alongside the other amazing food you’ve got planned.

When boiling your potatoes, make sure the water is well-salted and if you’re using baby potatoes, you can opt not to peel them for a more rustic look. The recipe below doesn’t include cheese, but you can add some well-aged yellow cheese for an even tastier treat but you can opt not to. The potatoes are beautifully soft as the mushrooms add a meatiness, but you can also add some spice with a bit of sliced chorizo or spicy Italian sausage.
