This potjie was amazing! I bought my potjie pot 2 weeks ago and decided to do this recipe for it’s initiation. This was the first ever potjie I made and it turned out BRILLIANT! I used cream of chicken soup and oxtail soup, and my dog stole the bacon when I wasn’t looking but it still turned out amazing! My girlfriend and her family loved it and went for seconds! – Clinton
