Potatoes and Mushrooms
2 lbs baking potatoes 1 ½ lbs mushrooms

olive oil, plus more for drizzling 2 cloves garlic, chopped 4 T. parsley,
chopped 1/3 c. dry white wine salt & freshly ground pepper to taste Peel
baking potatoes and slice thickly (keep them in cold water to keep from turning

5 minutes. Cut mushrooms into thick slices. Heat olive oil in a large
fying pan. Add mushrooms and garlic. When browned, add parsley. Layer half
the potatoes in a deep ovenproof dish. Drizzle with olive oil and add a layer

potatoes. Drizzle with oil, and add remaining mushrooms. Drizzle oil over
top, pour in white wine, cover with foil, and bake 30 minutes in a 350 degree
oven. Uncover; cook 30 minutes more, until the potatoes are tender. |
