Carne con Papas, Cuban Beef and Potato Stew image

This beef and potato stew is another traditional Cuban dish. In Spanish it is called Carne con Papas. It one of those comfort foods that we all love. I love to eat it with crusty Cuban bread. It is customarily eaten with white rice and an avocado salad, I know you will really like this hearty dish. Enjoy
