After coming back from the shop, sit and cry recalling the price of mushrooms. Ponder that on a local market in Poland you would pay 5-6 times less for them. That's because we have forests in Poland and cheap labour, but still.

After crying, preheat your oven to 190°C.

If you put the stuff you bought in one place it should resemble following photos

Ask Magda to wash the mushrooms. Wait around 15 minutes till she finishes.

Ask "Why are you washing them one by one?" and regret that you ever asked.

"Let me take the photo, those color match so well!". Let her.

Put butter on the pan on medium fire and wait till the moment when putting meat on that would cause a hiss. Put the meat then.

Add some pepper and salt and wait till it's lightly yellowish.

Take it out, place in a heat-resistant bowl. Take out this liquidy leftovers since you will put them in your sauce (the magic is right there). Bake for 15 minutes.

Start preparing the masterpiece by putting some butter again and frying mushrooms for several minutes.

Take out the mushrooms. To the same pan put your chicken liquid, wine and vinegar. Don't care about the amounts given above - let your soul lead your brain.

At some point, your baking chicken will be ready and it will give more liquid. Bring it on!

Wait till this mixture significantly reduces it's volume (around 8 minutes 36 seconds) and put your mushrooms.

Add sour cream and wait till the sauce gets denser. Add parsley, stir and stare.

Prepare smushed potatoes. Peel them and cut into small cubes first!

Then cook them till they get cooked (soft). Then remove water and put them on fire without water (!). Shake them and put on fire again (repeat photos 2 and 3 below several times).
