Carne con Papas y Arroz Blanco

"When a Cuban hears “meat and potatoes”, they think Carne Con Papas. Cuban or Cuban-Americans would pine away for this savory and delectable stew. This dish makes great leftovers and can even be made a day or two ahead. In fact, it tastes even better the next day." - Ana Quincoces
