Stew up a taste of history with these Victorian Stewed Potatoes! This dish, with its simple yet comforting flavors, has roots that take us right back to the 19th century. It’s a perfect side dish to accompany a hearty main or even as a cozy meal on its own. Imagine soft, tender potatoes that have absorbed all the rich flavors of broth and herbs—what’s not to love?

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • Fresh thyme (a few sprigs)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Sauté the Onions: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
  3. Add the Potatoes and Broth: Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot, ensuring the potatoes are mostly submerged. Season with salt, pepper, and add fresh thyme sprigs.
  4. Simmer Until Tender: Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Notes

  • Texture Tip: For a thicker stew, mash some of the potatoes in the pot after cooking.
  • Herb Variation: Substitute thyme with rosemary or parsley if needed.
  • Make it a Meal: Add cooked sausage or grilled chicken for a heartier meal.
