If you are using frozen mushrooms, then do not forget that this product has the ability to absorb moisture. Therefore, before heat treatment, defrost them properly, then transfer them to a colander, rinse under running water and squeeze out the excess liquid a little.
If your mushrooms are dried, then before cooking they need to be poured with cold water and left for one hour. Then drain the water, squeeze the mushrooms and let them dry.
Fresh mushrooms should not be washed too hard with water, otherwise they will absorb excess moisture and will fry very poorly.
If you cook fried potatoes with champignons and sour cream, then in order for the sour cream not to curdle, pour 3-4 tablespoons of boiling water there before adding it to the pan.
If you decide to boil the mushrooms before frying, then in no case use aluminum dishes. It tends to oxidize upon contact with certain substances found in mushrooms. As a result, this will spoil the appearance and taste of mushrooms.
So that the potatoes do not stick together during the frying process, you need to soak it in cold water for 2-3 hours in order to remove excess starch. Then you will need to dry it from water. Thanks to this, the potatoes will turn out fried and will not fall apart.
