In about 5 minutes, when the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms start to brown, give just an stir with the spoon to allow the mushrooms to brown nicely, cooking them another 2-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and toss the mushrooms with parsley and a few grinds of pepper.

Distribute the mushrooms over the potatoes. Cover the mushrooms with two more overlapping layers of the remaining potatoes. Pour the broth and cream mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.
