  In this paper we study dualities for $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories in three
dimensions with matter in the fundamental and adjoint representation. The
duality we propose, analogous to mirror symmetry, is obtained starting from
$\mathcal{N}=4$ mirror theories and turning on a certain superpotential
deformation involving monopole operators. We study the role of emergent
symmetries in the dual theory, focusing on the case of models with gauge
symmetry $U(2)$ or $SU(2)$. We find that $SU(2)$ adjoint SQCD with one flavor
and zero superpotential is dual to SQED with two flavors and three singlets. As
a byproduct, we recover several dualities for theories with $\mathcal{N}=2$ and
$\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetry, including the duality appetizer of Jafferis and
Yin.
