Portobello burger & crispy potatoes

One of lifes pleasures is a good burger and some crispy potatoes. I like a portobello mushroom burger as much as a beef burger.  I find I can make it juicier than beef, I guess the beef theses days is so lean, you dont get the juiciness that makes a burger  taste so good. This is also a great option if you are vegetarian. So here goes, a medium size portobello mushroom works well. I just saute it in a little EVOO, kind of searing it, then flip it over, do the same to that side, then turn down the heat and put a lid on the fry pan, thats what makes it juicy.  Add a slice of cheese if you like, thats how I like mine some ketchup and a dill pickle on a nice roll and its done.


I do the potatoes in the oven with a little EVOO toss them together and bake them on 350 or so for about 45 minutes.  I like Yukon golds. I find using the oven rather than a fry pan I can use less oil, gotta watch that waistline. I grind some sea salt on top and dinner is served.
