This is a layered dish where texture and flavor work together.

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Place cubed potatoes in a large pot.

Cover with cold salted water.

Bring to boil.

Reduce to simmer and cook 15–20 minutes until fork tender.

Drain thoroughly.

Return to pot and let steam dry for 2–3 minutes.

This removes excess moisture for fluffier mash.

Mash with butter first.

Then add warm milk gradually.

Season with salt and white pepper.

Set aside.

Step 2: Build the Aromatic Base

Heat olive oil and butter in large skillet over medium heat.

Add onions, carrots, and celery.

Cook 6–8 minutes until softened.

Add mushrooms.
