How To Make Stew

First of all, a stew is made with mashed potatoes (so potatoes with some moisture from the vegetables or soy milk and a knob of vegetable butter, for example) and with one or more vegetables. When this is mashed together you have a stew. 

Sometimes the vegetables are cooked with potatoes, sometimes separately. Sometimes you can even choose whether you want the vegetables raw or cooked with the potato stew.

When the potatoes are cooked with the vegetables, add a knob of vegetable butter and some liquid (from the vegetables or soy milk, for example) after draining. Do not take any moisture from the potatoes (possibly with vegetables). Potato is related to the nightshade. You can read all about it in our article about nightshade vegetables.
