How to make Potatoes and artichokes

Cook in boiling water for 4-5 minutes i artichokes cut into slices (the thinner the slices, the less time it will take to cook). Then do the same operation with the potatoes: peel them, cut them into thin slices and cook them for a few minutes in boiling salted water, over medium heat.

Drain and put the potatoes and artichokes in a pan with oil and garlic, cook them for a few minutes and then put the lid on, and cook another 10 minutes, remove the lid, and let the artichokes and potatoes brown.

Turn off the heat, place on the plate and serve with salt, pepper and chopped parsley.
