Fried potatoes with stew in a frying pan

Potatoes with stewed meat - Soviet classics in a new way. Since childhood, I have adored beef stew in cans. Mom boiled potatoes, crushed them to a state of mashed potatoes. Separately, I heated the stew in a frying pan. And in the already heated form, she added meat to the hot puree. All this was mixed and served to the table. Now I buy stew very rarely, but when I buy it, I use it the same way as my mother. This is a classic of Soviet cuisine. However, recently I decided to add stew not to boiled, but to fried potatoes. The result was impressive. The potatoes were soaked with the juices from the stew, but at the same time retained a golden crispy crust. Just perfect.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients. To cook fried potatoes with stewed meat, we will need: potatoes, a can of beef stew (try to choose the one with more meat and less fat and liquid), a little fat from the stew, vegetable oil for frying, dried or fresh thyme, ground black pepper and salt. Remove the beef stew from the jar. If the piece is large, divide it into smaller parts.
Step 2:
Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into large cubes.
Step 3:
In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil and a little fat from the stew.
Step 4:
Lay out the potatoes and fry over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5:
Add beef stew to the pan with potatoes. Stirring, fry everything together for about 7 more minutes until the potatoes are ready and the moisture has completely evaporated.
Step 6:
Season the dish with salt and pepper, sprinkle with dried thyme and mix. Remove the pan from the heat and arrange the potatoes and stew on plates. Enjoy your meal!

In addition to beef stew, you can use pork stew in this dish, as well as chicken or turkey stew (it turns out that there is such a thing now).

It is better to fry potatoes before adding stewed meat until golden brown, because then, after adding stewed meat, for the appearance of a golden crust, you will have to wait until all the liquid evaporates, and then fry. However, this way you can dry the meat and the dish will turn out dry. Ideally, a little liquid from the stew should remain at the bottom of the pan. Therefore, first bring the potatoes to readiness, and then add the stew.
