Brown meat and sliced onions. Add remaining ingredients except potatoes and cook till meat is fairly tender. Arrange in a casserole dish with layers of vegetables, meat and potatoes with a thick layer of potatoes on top. Pour stock over and cover with a lid or paper. Cook at moderate heat for about 2 hours. About 15 minutes before serving, remove the lid or paper to allow potatoes to brown.
