Coming from Irish roots - this was a huge staple in my house. My grandmother whenever I would go to her house always had a huge pot of this on the go in the kitchen and I remember we would all grab a mug and scoop up some of the broth to sip. It was delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My grandfather would be forever sat by the kitchen sink with a big plastic bucket at his feet, while he peeled the potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally you would never find Sweet Potato in an Irish Stew, but I love the sweetness it gives to the broth. My grandmother would probably tell me off if she was alive today. Never one to stray from her traditional recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also make this version in a slow cooker, so it's great for busy days, add in the ingredients and then later on you have a delicious meal to sit down and enjoy with the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leftovers are perfect for freezing, but we never have any left. Literally as soon as it hits the table and one lot of bowls are cleared, everyone is digging in for seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
