Why use Roasted Potatoes in Beef Stew?
Have you ever noticed how your potatoes can get overly soft when making a soup or stew? Typically, you want to add them to the stew later than other root vegetables, so that doesn’t happen, but you should try this instead.
Roast your cut potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, and add the cooked potatoes to your stew just before serving. All you need is yellow or red potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper; you can throw them in the oven while you prepare the rest of the stew recipe.
