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.

I'm not a huge fan of gumbo, but this recipe changed my mind. The potato gumbo was creamy and flavorful, and the sausage and okra added a nice touch.
