I think my obsession started with my mother’s delicious Creamy Potato Salad Recipe.  I just loved it.  I would fill myself up with the creamy potato salad and leave all the other food.  Of course this didn’t make my mother too happy, but secretly I think she was proud of herself for knowing how to make potato salad that was simply scrumptious.

This recipe is not my mom’s original creamy potato salad recipe.  It is close to it but not exactly the same.   This new potato salad recipe contains mayonnaise and bacon like my mom’s creamy potato salad, but it uses red potatoes where my mother used Russets. 

Despite this creamy potato salad recipe not being an exact duplicate of my mother’s recipe, it is still a quick, easy, and one of the best creamy potato salad recipes I have ever tasted.

  5. As the potatoes are cooling, cook the chopped onion and bacon together. When the bacon is crispy, drain the drippings and reserve them.

The recipe for stew, which by the way is really a vegetable potato stew, is a true comfort food recipe.  Why do I say that?  Because a true comfort food recipe has to be simple and easy to make.  It is part of the allure of a comfort food.  That is why it is so highly sought after when college students are looking for easy college recipes.  Recipes for college students not only have to be easy but also have to be good.  It should remind them of home and the food for comfort their moms used to make them.  If there were such a thing as a Comfort Food Company they would clean up on campus.

How To Make Food For Comfort Potato Stew

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds potatoes, (Russet, Idaho, or even Red Potatoes)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • The white part of one leek, julienned
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 1/2 cups of vegetable consomme
  • Pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Peel the potatoes and dice them into 1/2 inch cubes
  2. Transfer the potato into a crock pot
  3. Add the consomme, wine, leek, celery, carrot, onion, garlic, and pepper
  4. If the potatoes are not covered with liquid add water
  5. Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 1/2 hour
  6. Now cook on medium for 1/2 hour (you want the potatoes to become tender)
  7. Adjust cooking time to make sure potatoes are fully cooked
  8. If too much of the liquid evaporates during cooking you can add water or more consomme
  9. Serve the potato stew while it piping hot

You have just made a food for comfort that will be remembered for a long time.  This potato stew will still taste great the next day as a left over side dish recipe.  Always remember that a comfort food is the most welcoming food that you can serve a friend.

Cooking Potato Stew Tip:  Leeks are traditionally used in this potato stew because they are milder than onions, which works very well with the mild potato flavor. However, there is no reason you cannot substitute leeks with onions, green onions or shallots if you prefer.

This Food For Comfort Potato Stew is a Vegan and Vegetarian safe recipe.
