These here potatoes are one of our common breakfast Zimbabwean dishes. Most of us have had this as a child and have in turn gone on to prepare it for our own families and it goes on like that! It’s such a simple meal where you can attend to other things whilst it’s cooking.
Resources/Equipment You Will Need
- Medium sized pot

- Sharp knife
- Tablespoon
- Teaspoon
Quick Instructions
- Get your ingredients ready (700g potatoes; 1/2 medium onion, chopped; 2 large tomatoes, chopped; 2 tbsp pure vegetable oil and 1/2 tsp salt). Wash, scrub and peel your potatoes. Chop the onion and tomatoes.
- Cut potatoes into small cubes and put them in a pot with enough water to just about cover the potatoes.
- Add chopped onion and tomatoes to pot.
- Add salt and pure vegetable oil. Give everything a quick stir using your wooden spoon.
- Close pot and boil for about 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through but somewhat tender (we’re not looking for mashed potatoes!) Stir occasionally during the 25- 30 min to ensure that no potatoes stick to the bottom of the pot and end up being burnt.
- Your potato stew is ready! Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
