- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup water

- In a small saucepan, cover the potatoes with water.
- Add a large pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
- Simmer the potatoes over moderately high heat until just tender when pierced with a knife, about 8 minutes.
- Drain and let cool.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
- Working with one artichoke at a time, pull off and discard the dark green outer leaves.
- Using a small, sharp knife, trim off about 1/2 inch of the leaves and peel and trim the stem.

- Add the water, cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the artichokes are just tender, 12 minutes.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Add the mushrooms and season with salt.
- Cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, about 4 minutes.
- Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
