Irish Stew

The stew can be prepared completely up to 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and the flavors will actually improve as they meld. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the consistency.

Store leftover stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The stew can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. The potatoes may break down further upon reheating, which will thicken the gravy even more.
