Looking for a Cajun potato egg stew recipe

I had a college friend whose grandmother made a potato egg stew that had a thick roux gravy. Very simple dish but remember it being delicious. Any of y’all familiar with this?

Interested in hearing a recipe, but not sure I’d want to eat it. Boiled eggs? Poached eggs? Any meat added?
Lots of old recipes have eggs added to stews, gumbos, and red gravies for protein (cheaper than meat and can feed more).

They were boiled. My guess is they were added towards the end but long enough to soak up some flavor.
I don’t recall any meat in it. Didn’t have a Smokey flavor like sausage was in it in my memory but maybe I’m wrong.

That’s what I would guess too.

It sounds like it might have been meatball stew, adding potatoes and eggs is how we stretched it where I'm from.

I definitely remember it being a Lenten meal without meat but I think you’re on the right track…. I’m thinking it was a shrimp stew without the shrimp and maybe chicken stock instead of a seafood stock. Meatball stew would be nearly the same sans meatballs. Thanks for thinking it through with me.

Made it tonight and it came out pretty awesome.
Softened up some onions, bell pepper, celery, and garlic in some canola oil and butter. Seasoned that with some of our local BDaddy's seasoning. Added about half a jar of Kary's roux cooked that down for about 15 minutes and then slowly added some chicken stock. Cooked that for about an hour until it was to my preferred thickness. In a separate pot I boiled 6 eggs and peeled them and set them aside. I cut up 8 small yukon gold potatoes into rather large chunks so they'd hold together and added them to the pot of stew. After they boiled for about 5 minutes I added the eggs. I cut up 3 of eggs and left 3 whole. Added some green onion to it right before serving. Served it over rice. It came out great and it's going into my normal Friday rotation.
I forgot to take pics while it was in my bowl with the rice but every time I post pics of my food I realize how terrible of a photographer I am but I'm here for your comedic relief.

Sounds like a sauce patate with eggs dropped in near the end?
I’ve eaten many in my youth but never had one with eggs, but sounds delicious.
Anyhow, get a Dutch oven or magnalite pot and fry some sliced smoked pork sausage or andouille. When cooked remove sausage and set aside, pour all purpose flour into the sausage grease and stir on high heat until a dark brown then lower heat, add diced onions, bell peppers and celery, keep stirring. Add water, sliced potatoes and sausage, season with salt, garlic powder and cayenne pepper and boil until potatoes are soft. Crack half a dozen eggs into the pot, shut off burner and don’t stir until eggs are cooked. Enjoy over rice.

If there is enough liquid in the pot you can just crack the egg in the stew to cook. Get it hot not boiling until it sets up all the way so it doesn’t fall apart. I’ll do that after a crawfish boil too…
