  1. In a small bowl, soak dried mushrooms in hot water.

  2. Heat butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, cook until the onion is tender and transparent. Stir in beef bouillon cube, and pour in mushrooms with water. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in cream, simmer gently for 5 minutes. Set aside.

  3. Place whole potatoes in a pan with water to cover, bring to a boil over high heat, and cook about 5 minutes. Drain water. When potatoes are cool enough to touch, cut them in half.
