PREPARATION:
1st Step
Peel the potatoes and slice them up into pieces that are easily chewable. The pieces of potato in Mom’s recipe should all be the same size so that the dish has the same texture throughout.
2nd Step
Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic takes on a fragrant aroma. Always stressing the need to start with a flavorful base, Mum would say things like this.
3rd Step
After you have added the diced potatoes to the saucepan, give it a toss to blend the potatoes with the aromatics. You should give them a few minutes to cook so that they can take up the flavors.
4th Step
After the chicken or vegetable stock has been poured in, make sure it completely covers the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the temperature and allow it to simmer until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.
