Breaking potatoes is a simple method of slicing potatoes in a rough way to encourage more of the starch to be released into soups and stews. This extra starch acts as a natural thickener. It's a great method for thickening in lieu of roux-based thickeners.
A great example is Marmitako, a Basque tuna stew! Check out the recipe here:
