DS hates lentils and mashed potatoes. What else can I do with a stew?

Roasted baby potatoes.
Have you got dumplings in it? If so I wouldn’t bother with potatoes and just serve with brocolli and green beans.
Or made a scone top like a cobbler.
Duchess potatoes are good and a bit retro!

Crusty bread and butter or jacket potatoes if they’re not too close to mash for your DS.

Doughballs, which I assume are what everyone else is calling dumplings. Or rice. I love beef stew with rice, esp if its a winey stew. Yum!

DH does a beef burgundy that we serve over egg noodles or rice. If there's already a starch in the stew (like potatoes) I wouldn't add another.
