Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges.
Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on middle rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon*; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Carefully discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat from pan. Reserve pan.
While bacon cooks, thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).
In a small bowl, combine horseradish sauce and mayonnaise.
Heat pan with reserved bacon fat over medium-high heat (if pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil). Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Turn off heat; transfer mushrooms to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan.
Arrange sourdough slices on a clean work surface. Evenly layer half the sourdough slices with gouda, bacon, mushrooms, and cheddar. Top with remaining sourdough slices to form sandwiches.
Heat 2 TBSP butter and a drizzle of oil in pan used for mushrooms over medium heat. Once hot, add sandwiches. (For 4 servings, work in batches; wipe out pan between batches and add more butter and oil as needed.) Cook, gently pressing down with a spatula or heavy-bottomed pan, until cheese slightly melts and bread is golden brown, 2-4 minutes. Add another 1 TBSP butter to pan, then flip sandwiches. Cook until cheese fully melts and bread is golden brown, 2-4 minutes more. TIP: Lower heat if sandwiches begin to brown too quickly.
Halve sandwiches on a diagonal.
Divide sandwiches between plates. Serve with potato wedges and horseradish mayo on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the savory, melty goodness, with the horseradish sauce adding a zesty kick. Some found the cheddar overpowering.
- Ease of prep: Easy to make and customize, though shredded cheese was messy. Consider using sliced cheese for easier assembly.
- Suggestions: Try caramelizing onions or adding garlic seasoning to boost flavor. Some preferred thicker bread slices for a sturdier sandwich.
- Portions: Several found it filling, with one noting the two-person serving was enough for four meals.
- Texture: Some felt the bacon was too thick or chewy. Consider cooking it longer or using a different cut.
Reviews from our home cooks
For me the serving for two was enough for four filling meals. I sautéed a thinly sliced shallot before the mushrooms; cut the potatoes into cubes so they would all be crispy; and the bacon was very thick so I finished cooking the slices on top of the almost finished potatoes.
Who doesn't love a grilled cheese and with bacon!! I only put the mushrooms on mine. Easy to individualize a sandwich.
Everything about this dish was phenomenal! Especially the horseradish sauce. Can't wait for this to be back on the menu!
I thought the bacon was a skimpy portion but it was just enough. I also Caramelized an onion and added to the sandwich
I try to remember I order a dish with Bread to have them right away - the Bread gets a bit stale sitting in the bag if you don't cook this one right away - but even though that was the case this meal was very good - the potatoes as easy as they are were so delicious - the flavor on the sandwich was very good
This was amazing!! I was shocked how good it turned out. Only thing I'd ask is to have the bread slices a little thicker. Gouda was a great choice with cheddar! Monterey Jack and Gruyère would have been cool as well.
This was delicious. I'd prefer more rustic French or Italian bread, though. Not a sourdough fan. It would be nice to add some form of green vegetables however instead of potatoes for a change. Something crispy or patties.
This one surprised me! Such a savory and flavor-balanced sandwich. Very calorie dense.
This was a mess to make. The cheese and mushrooms fell out every time I flipped the sandwich. And it just didn't taste all that great, not for how many calories it was and how much money it cost. Wouldn't get it again.
Love the horseradish sauce, I add dijon(on top of the butter) before toasting the bread for even more flavor. 8.5/10
