The same magic plays out in this Peppery Mushroom and Potato Bake albeit a little more strongly! An arrangement of potato slices layered with a flavourful mushroom sauce is topped with cheese and pepper and baked till the flavours merge with the ingredients, giving out an enticing aroma and irresistible flavour. Like all baked dishes, enjoy this fresh off the oven.
