I love a potato stew!
I usually make a spaghetti pot of it at a time and freeze in single serve containers so take the amounts in that context.
- 2-4 large russet potatoes skinned and cubed
- 2 large yellow onions diced
- ~1.5 cup chopped carrots
- ~1.5 cup chopped celery
- a quart of vegetable broth or 2 bouillon (if I have none on hand I increase spices and onion)
- If I have a parmesan rind on hand I like to throw that in.
After adding everything fill the pot with water until you’ve at least doubled the volume (I like to do a bit more but I love broth, some people don’t). Bring to a boil then simmer on the hotter end of the simmer spectrum until the potatoes are the right consistency (~20min).
Spices I usually do to taste but something like:
- 1.5 tsp dried parsley
- 2-3 dried bay leaves (very important imo)
- 1.5 tsp dried basil
- 2 tsp black pepper (fresh)
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 2/3 tsp turmeric
Serve with a dinner role ideally, maybe a salad.
If I’m sick I also add some paprika or cayenne to clear my sinuses!
I find this dish very forgiving and routinely delicious.
