Potato stew { Krumplifőzelék }

I can't say I'm ever excited about any kind of stews until this recipe. Living in a seasonal country, stews are winter warmer and keep your tummy full during the winter months. In Hungary we have a kind of stew called főzelek which is made of either vegetables or grains. I've cooked this potato stew based on ingredients listed on desszert.eu and did not follow the steps.
