Add flour and stir well. Gradually pour broth while continuing to stir; eventually the roux will take on an almost black color and reach completion.

Add potatoes and cook until tender, taking care not to overdo it. Remove about one coffee cup worth of potatoes and mash with a fork to thicken the stew before returning the mashed ones back into it and continuing simmering. Taste for flavoring adjustments as necessary.
