  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      lbs           red potatoes
   1      cup           chicken stock
     3/4  cup           half and half -- milk or heavy cream
   3      cloves        garlic
                        ----salt/pepper to taste----
   3      tablespoons   butter -- melted
   4      cups          mushroom -- sliced
   2      tablespoons   parsley (fresh) -- chopped

Scrub potatoes. Do not peel. Cut into 1/4 -inch (1/2 cm) slices (you will  
need about 6 cups). Do not rinse sliced potatoes (starch will help thicken 
mixture).  In a 3-quart (3 l) saucepan, place potatoes, water and bouillon 
granules. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15     
minutes or until partially cooked, stirring occasionally.  Add             
half-and-half, garlic, salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high. Bring
 to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent        
scorching. Remove from heat.   In an baking dish, spread 1 tablespoon of   
the butter or margarine.  Layer in order, half of the mushrooms, half of   
the potatoes with half of the sauce and drizzle with remaining 2           
tablespoons butter or margarine.  Repeat. Top with remaining mushrooms,    
then with sauce. Sprinkle with parsley. Cover with foil.  Bake in a        
preheated 350F  oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 minutes longer or 
until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.                        
Serves 6 - 8.
