5 white potatoes peeled and cut into uniform chunks
½ lb Buttom mushrooms
1 large white onion
4 garlic buds minced
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley finely chopped
¼ cup table cream.
½ tsp aromatic salt

Boil water for potatoes and cook until done. Remove and mash immediately. Sauté onions with butter covered on medium low to sweat for 5 minutes. Add garlic to pan and cook for 5 minutes. Combine parsley salt, pepper and cream with potatoes in a large pot adding the table cream slowly so as not to curdle. In a 9x15 casserole dish rub butter along sides and bottom to cover well. Place first layer of noodles so that the bottom is completely covered (should take 3 noodles). Spoon potato mixture on noodles until completely covered with a ½ inch layer. Add another layer of noodles and cover with onion, mushroom and garlic mixture. Add another layer of noodles and cover with remaining potato mixture. Add final layer of noodles and add grated cheddar cheese if desired. Tent with foil and bake at 350F for approximately 25 minutes or until dish is bubbling and the top is starting to turn brown at the edges. Allow to cool for 12 min and slice into small squares.
