Potato Stew greek Style- Greek Patates Giaxni – Griechische Kartoffelsuppe

This recipe has been in greek family homes forever. Growing up in my mothers home, she used to say this every week ” we have to eat, one lentil casserole one  green casserole and stews at least five times a week” by that said, we did eat five times a week stews and saturday was our noodle day due to shopping and no time to cook. Sunday was always, I mean always and to this day a meat meal.

I love stews and I love this one especially, because what can I say, I am a potatoe girl :)!

Here is how you can make this delicious fast and healthy stew in just 45 minutes and feeds a family of 4 or 5 to 6 regular people with this recipe, but you know, Im greek we cook more just in case someone shows up and is hungry :)!
