Serves: 4 to 6
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lamb; cubed, shoulder
- 8 medium potatoes; sliced, unpeeled
- 3 Spanish onions; sliced

- Continue layering and sprinkling, ending with a layer of potatoes on top.
- Add water to pot, cover the pot and bring contents to a boil. Turn down heat, and gently simmer until meat is quite tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

- Irish stew is thick and should not drown in it's own broth.
