Time: 30 minutes

​4 Tbl. butter or margarine
1 head of garlic, minced
2 cups potatoes
2 cups mushrooms
1 sprig fresh rosemary. Or ½ tsp. dried
1 Tbl. chopped fresh basil. Or ½ tsp. dried
3 Tbl. soy sauce
Salt and pepper

1) Wash potatoes well and place them in a small pot. Add enough water to cover the top. Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and boil for 10-15 minutes, or until just cooked. Do not overcook. Check by poking one with a toothpick. If it goes through easily, then it should be done. Cut the potatoes into large bite-sized pieces.

2) In a pan or skillet, melt butter over medium heat and saute garlic until tender. Add potatoes and mushrooms, and cook until the edges are browned. Add rosemary, basil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
