Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 slices smoked bacon, cut into large dice
2 stalks celery, diced
1 bunch Swiss chard, coarsely chopped, leaves and stems separated
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/4 cup flour
2 bay leaves
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
Pinch cayenne
2 pounds white potatoes, peeled and quartered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the potato gumbo:
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and saute until golden brown. Add the garlic and smoked bacon and continue to saute.
  • Once the bacon has cooked and becomes crisp, add the celery, Swiss chard stems, and green pepper, saute until tender. Remove the bacon mixture from the pan, put in a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the same saute pan, add the flour and bay leaves.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon incorporating the flour and oil to form a paste. Cook until the flour becomes brown and nutty in color. Add the chicken stock, water, and cayenne, stir.
  • Add the potatoes and reserved bacon mixture to the liquid. Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender and the liquid reduces, achieving a thick consistency, approximately 30 minutes.
  • Add the Swiss chard leaves, season with salt, and pepper, cooking until the leaves are wilted, serving.

This gumbo is a waste of time. It's not even close to being authentic.

I followed the recipe exactly and the gumbo turned out bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

This gumbo is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt.

I added some corn to the gumbo and it was delicious! I also used a different type of sausage, a spicy Italian sausage.

I'm not a fan of the texture of okra, so I blended it before adding it to the gumbo. This made the gumbo smooth and creamy.

This gumbo is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I had some mashed potatoes in the fridge and I just added them to the gumbo.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The gumbo was still very flavorful.

I made this gumbo in a slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cooked it on low for 8 hours.

This gumbo is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a big fan of okra, so I omitted it from the recipe. The gumbo was still delicious!

I added some chicken to the gumbo and it was even better! I also used a smoked sausage instead of the andouille sausage.

I made this gumbo last night and it was a hit! My family loved the creamy broth and the tender potatoes. I will definitely be making this again.
