You will need to replenish hot water several times in cooking process, as needed.

At this point add the optional potato cubes, if you like, then cover pot & simmer on lowest heat until potatoes are just tender.You will want a somewhat thick sauce on the meat, so if its still a bit watery when potatoes are tender, remove them with slotted spoon, turn up heat to medium & cook off excess liquid until a somewhat thick sauce is formed.

I put several pieces of bread on plate, cover with plastic film & microwave it for about a minute, so its warm & very soft.You can also wrap it in foil & warm in a low oven for a few minutes, or heat & very lightly toast each piece over the direct flame on the stove.
