Soak the beans for over 6 hours (can soak for 8-12 hours depending on schedule).

Boil the soaked beans in a pot.

Add ground ginger to the boiling beans.

Add garlic powder to the beans.

Add water to the beans and allow it to boil.

Peel and dice the potatoes into cubes.

After boiling the beans for a while, add salt and 2 seasoning cubes.

Allow the beans to cook with more water.

Add the diced potatoes to the beans and stir.

Allow the beans and potatoes to cook properly until the beans are half done.

Debone and clean the smoked fish.

Break the smoked fish into smaller pieces.

In a pan, heat palm oil and sauté grated onions until fragrant.

Add the smoked fish to the sautéed onions and stir, allowing it to fry together.

Add 2 seasoning cubes to the fish and onion mixture and stir.

Add leftover stew (or ground pepper, habanero pepper, chili pepper) to the pan.

Add the boiled beans and potato mixture to the pan and stir thoroughly.

Ensure the beans are soft before taking it off the fire.

As you stir, the potato will start to melt into the beans, thickening the mixture.

If the beans are too thick, add water to achieve desired consistency.
