The story behind
Let me tell you, this stew is what saved my days when I would come home exhausted from school. My mom always said there was nothing a good plate of potatoes and beef couldn't fix. What I love most is how the potatoes are sliced really thin so they soak up all the flavor from the broth. It's a very humble and generous recipe, ideal for a weekday lunch when you want something filling that tastes amazing. I always pair it with some fresh corn tortillas straight from the griddle, and for a drink, a cold hibiscus water goes perfectly with it. It's one of those dishes best enjoyed at the kitchen table, chatting about how your day went.
