Method

  1. 1 Sauté thinly sliced onions in pork fat for 10 minutes until golden brown.
  2. 2 Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 2 minutes until the flour absorbs all the oil and turns a sandy color.
  3. 3 Add the potatoes cut into 3 cm cubes along with 400 ml of water, bay leaves, and thyme.
  4. 4 Cover and simmer for 25 minutes; the name means "bare pot stew" because poor people in the Ardennes region didn't have meat to put in it.
  5. 5 Mash a few pieces of potato to thicken the sauce, then season with pepper and sprinkle with parsley.
