Beef and Potatoes

Considered a comfort food by many, carne con papas is a delicious mixture of meat and potatoes, simmered in a rich tomato sauce. This is another recipe that reminds me of my mother. When we were growing up, she had to find ways to feed her large family while on a tight budget, so she incorporated potatoes in many of her dishes, including stews like this one. Carne con papas is an excellent example of a hearty meal made with simple and affordable ingredients.
