It is crunchy on top, soft in the middle, savory and so wonderful with roasted chicken or braised meat. Pour the meat juices over the noodles.

POTATOES AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Prep all the ingredients. Prep the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2-3 inch pieces about the width of a French fry. Dice the onion. Clean and slice the mushrooms.
• In a large skillet with a lid, heat the olive oil. Add the cut potatoes and diced onion. Cook over medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes without disturbing, so that the bottom layer of potatoes get nice and crispy. Season with salt, stir and cover with a lid. Continue cooking for 5-8 more minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning, and covering with a lid in between stirring.
• Add the sliced mushrooms and stir. Cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. The mushrooms will release some juice, this is fine. Remove the lid, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes stirring frequently, or until the potatoes are fully cooked and any liquid has evaporated. Stir in parsley and remove from heat.
