One of our favorite side dishes at home: simple, quick to prepare, and always delicious! Oven-roasted baby potatoes with mushrooms are perfect for accompanying meats. This dish appeals to both kids and adults, making it ideal for festive meals alongside roasted meats like chicken, lamb, or beef, especially with a leg of lamb roasted in the oven.
The baby potatoes and mushrooms, whole or sliced, are marinated in a mix of balsamic vinegar, herbs, garlic, and spices, then roasted in the oven for about twenty minutes, especially if the potatoes have been pre-cooked. Below, I offer you two preparation methods, depending on your schedule.
This dish can also be an excellent vegetarian option, served alongside ratatouille to add some sauce and even more flavor.
It also pairs wonderfully with grilled or oven-baked fish.
The balsamic vinegar marinade, infused with thyme and rosemary, gives the baby potatoes and mushrooms an exquisite flavor.

Cooking option :
You have two ways to prepare this side dish:
1. Pre-cooking the potatoes:
Parboil the baby potatoes for about twenty minutes, until they are tender inside but still firm. Then, mix them with the raw mushrooms in the marinade and roast everything in the oven for about 15 minutes.
This option is convenient because mushrooms cook much faster.
2. Two-step cooking:
Marinate the baby potatoes (uncooked) and mushrooms separately. Roast the potatoes alone for about 30 minutes first. Then add the mushrooms and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes, adjusting the time if needed depending on the size of the vegetables.
