Default Stew without potatoes?

I got some stew meat and am going to use it for stew tomorrow. I don't use a
recipe. Just throw whatever veggies I have in there but I've always used
potatoes.

I am going to be making potatoes on Easter so I'm not sure I want to eat
them two days in a row.I am also going to be using up some canned goods. I
have a can of corn, green beans, peas and kidney beans.

I used to use a lot of canned vegetables but these days we all seem to
prefer fresh ones. We're okay with the beans and corn but even with beans, I
tend to cook a batch of dried at least once a week. I will keep a few cans
of the other stuff but I'd like to use some up. I will also add carrots,
celery, onions and perhaps some form of tomato. I don't always put tomato in
my stew. Seasonings will be salt, pepper, a bay leaf and parsley.

I don't want a huge pot of it as I'm cooking a lot for Easter and don't want
a lot of leftover stew.

So my question is... Do you think this will work without the potato? I could
always put a small amount in such as one Russet. I think I have a few
Russets.
