We are in September, and welcome to the fall. The sun is gradually disappearing, and the days are becoming shorter and shorter. In short, we are gradually moving towards the cold period: winter. This is why today, I decided to share a simple and very easy recipe to make: the stew of potato with beef . It is a perfect recipe to prepare on evenings when it's cold.
And to say that when I still lived in Cameroon, I did not feel as much the change of climate. But hey, we are in the West and we have to adapt. Besides, this recipe for potato stew is the first of a mini-series of soups recipes. In my next post, I will share the recipe of the Pepper Soup , and then will come the Egusi Soup (pistachio sauce).

African potato stew: potatoes sautéed in Cameroonian
I am Cameroonian, so my cuisine is naturally influenced by my origins. It's normal! The recipe that I present today is a version of the "Cameroonian" potato stew, as I like to call it. This is the recipe for sautéed potatoes, as we say at home. I exactly reproduced the recipe that we used to make home when I was little.
It is a tomato potato , with a lot of vegetables, it's true. But my junk of potatoes is really spicy! I add chili and the famous "secret" as a spice. It is a mixture of washer, spray , pepper ... in short, African spices that enhance the taste of the sauce.
