This easy-to-prepare dish is a meal in itself. That made it a real favorite of my mother's—she had to cook for nine children! Better yet, my brothers, sisters and I loved it.

  • 6 to 8 small potatoes, peeled and quartered

This was really easy to make and my family lovced it. I added a few bayleaves to the stew while it was cooking but still found it to be a little bit bland - if you like a lot of flavor I would suggest experimenting with a few spices but other than that this was a fantastic recipe. Thanks for sharing!
