- 1 pound (6 to 10) red (Bliss) potatoes (or another variety), cut and shaped to fit

Instructions
- Make sure that your cast-iron Dutch oven is 4–6 quarts, clean and seasoned.
- Peel and cut onions so they are about an inch long and a quarter-inch wide. Set aside.
- If using baby carrots, rinse them. If using regular carrots, rinse and peel 6 and cut into 2 inch pieces. Set aside.
- Spray the Dutch oven well with cooking spray and place on the stovetop on medium-high heat.
- Add the pot roast to the Dutch oven and briefly brown all the sides of the cut. This will help seal in the flavor. When the roast is browned on all sides, remove and set aside.
- Spray a little more cooking spray to the Dutch oven. Add the onions and saute for 10 minutes. Don't let them stick to the pan or they will burn.
- Add the paprika, basil, oregano, thyme and garlic. Continue to stir and saute for an additional 1-2 minutes. Make sure the ingredients are blended thoroughly. They will have a reddish-orange appearance.
- Add the water, wine/red wine vinegar and beef broth. Stir and bring to a boil. (Note: If you choose red wine vinegar over dry red wine, you may need to add a little more water.)
- Once your mixture is boiling, add the potatoes, carrots, salt and pepper. Stir.
- Carefully add the roast to the mixture and make sure it is mostly submerged in the liquid. (Note: Add water as needed, but do not fill to the top; allow a portion of the meat to be above the liquid line.)
- Cover the Dutch oven and put in the oven. Bake at 300˚F for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, flip the roast over and stir lightly the other ingredients. Cook for 1 more hour or until tender. Meat should be able to separate with a fork when done.
- Either serve from the Dutch oven or remove roast, cut and serve vegetables and broth on the side.
