Meanwhile in a medium saucepan heat the olive oi.  Add the onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.  Add the tomatoes and cook about 3 minutes.  Add the fava beans and potatoes to the saucepan. Cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.  If needed, add a a touch of hot water or stock to keep a moist consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
