Tatws Pum Munud[ˈtatʊspɨ̞mˈmɨːnɨ̞d] (English:Five-minute potatoes) is a traditionalWelshstew, made with smokedbacon,stock,potatoes and othervegetables.
The vegetables used are typically potatoes, onions, and carrots sliced lengthwise. Although more usually made with smoked bacon, minced beef may be used as a substitute. As a stew, it is unique in that all the main ingredients are cut into slices, and layered into a large frying pan so they lie flat. The ingredients are then simmered slowly until the potatoes become tender, and then seasoned with salt and pepper.[1]
The dish is commonly served on a plate (as opposed to a bowl) with crusty bread, baked beans, andWorcestershire sauce on the side.
A similar dish, calledTatws Popty (English:Oven potatoes) orTatws Pobdu, is made using chunky vegetables, and cooked in an oven.
