A meat-and-potatoes dish is a type of comfort food that is typically made with potatoes, vegetables, and some type of meat. Two popular dishes in this category are STEW and HASH. STEW is a type of soup or thick broth that is usually cooked slowly over low heat. It is often made with chunks of meat, vegetables, and potatoes. HASH is a dish that is made by combining diced or chopped ingredients such as potatoes, onions, and meat, and then frying them together. Both STEW and HASH are hearty dishes that are often served as a main course.
