Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Sweet potatoes
• 3 small Red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 3 cups Vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Russet and sweet potatoes, and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Wash and scrub the red potatoes (leave their skins on), then cut them into quarters.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 6

Toss in the cubed potatoes (Russet, sweet, and red) and gently stir to coat them with the oil and butter mixture.

Step 7

Add the sprigs of fresh thyme, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Stir, bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 8

Cover the pot and let the mixture cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 9

Remove the thyme sprigs and discard them. Using the back of a spoon, gently mash some of the potatoes in the pot to thicken the stew slightly, while leaving most chunks intact.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. This dish pairs perfectly with crusty bread or a side salad.
