Add enough water to cover the potatoes; bring to a boil and simmer until potatoes are done.
While potatoes are cooking, finely chop onion.
Add butter, onion and mushrooms to a separate pan and saute until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender.
Chop the cooked brisket into bite sized pieces.
