Looking for a Potato Stew Recipe
Hi all,
I'm looking for a potato stew recipe that I used to eat back in school. It wasn't too creamy and it had potatoes and sliced smoked sausage in it. It was eaten over rice. Can anyone help?


Potato Stew
Use my Oyster Stew Supreme Recipe and use the smoked sausage instead of oysters. It will turn out great.

Mike,
sounds like more cream than I want. Thanks anyway.


Too Much Cream?
You can easily adjust the milk/cream down......... When I make mashed potatoes, I use the same base, just less milk/cream. I would maintain the cream and leave out some mild....more flavor in the cream. The buttermilk. chicken bouilon and garlic are essential to the recipe....they give the stew a great taste that folks love. You can always add whatever veggies you like in a stew, simply saute' them first for tenderness.

O.K. Mike, your right. I wasn't thinking :)
Does the gravy come out a medium tan color?
Thanks


Gravy color
Sorry for the delay in responding, we were pretty busy here......

You will have to make a gravy seperately from the potatoes. The color will depend on just how you make the gravy. If you season the potatoes with chicken bouilon, you will want a chicken gravy. Chicken gravy is typically lighter that a beef gravy, for example.

Start with 2-4 tablespoons butter, melt in heavy skillet (a lightweight skillet will burn the gravy) over medium heat, or mix butter and olive oil to avoid scorching the butter. Add 2 tablespoons flour, salt and pepper to taste and stir stir stir until smooth to make a roue.....after that the longer you stir, the darker the roue and the gravy. Add 1 cup chichen broth to the flour mixture and bring to a boil. After boilng 1-2 minutes reduce to simmer, and serve hot. A great easy gravy that can be as dark (or light) as you wish.
