Family and notebook notes
Family confirmation: use 2 onions and 10 potatoes. The notebook's step 7 explicitly calls for potatoes and onions, and the creator confirmed this interpretation based on her father's family cooking. The creator has eaten mutton more recently, although not necessarily this stew.
This is an archival transcription of historical cooking rather than a validated contemporary preparation, processing, food-safety or storage guide.
