Miso Glazed Maitake Mushroom Burgers from Epicurious, and Extra Crispy Parmesan Crusted Roasted Potatoes from NYT Cooking. Both get a 3. The burgers have good flavor, but most hamburgers shine because of what is added on top. These have onion and plain arugula, leaving a kind of monochromatic feel. We are think dressing the arugula, perhaps with a Dijon vinaigrette would add interest without hiding the mushrooms. And the potatoes have good flavor but seem dry. That could be because our pieces were 1 inch at most, not 1-2 inches, and we used Yukon gold instead of russets. We will try this again with russets and bigger pieces.
