How long will it keep?
This Potatoes with Mushroom Gravy dish will keep for about 3 days in the refrigerator. Store it in an airtight container. The longer it sits in the gravy though, the thicker it will become as the starch in the potatoes breaks down, so you will need to add a bit more liquid when reheating.
Best way to reheat mushroom gravy
The best way to reheat this mushroom gravy is by adding some more heavy cream and warming it on the stove top in a skillet. If possible, you can spoon out the chunks of potato to avoid overcooking them as the gravy warms. Then, add them back in to heat briefly, and serve.

This is so good! Like licking the plate good! I don’t usually cook with heavy cream since it’s unhealthy but once in a while it’s okay. I did add ribeye streak to it since my kids are not fans of mushrooms . Also made it with wild mushrooms! This one is for the books! Thank you!
