Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use as a substitute for white button mushrooms in this recipe?

You can substitute white button mushrooms with cremini mushrooms or portobello mushrooms for a deeper flavor. If you prefer a different texture, shiitake mushrooms also work well in this dish.

How should I store leftover Spanish mushrooms and patatas bravas?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to retain their crispness, adding a splash of water if necessary to prevent sticking.

What should I do if the sauce is too thin or runny?

If the sauce is too thin, continue to simmer it over low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken further. You can also add a small amount of tomato paste to help it gain a thicker consistency.
