Chicken, Corn, and Potato Stew Recipe #170539
It looks like there is a lot to do here but it all goes quickly, especially if you use a food processor to grate the russets! The russet potatoes should dissolve and thicken the stew nicely. Talk about comfort food this is it! I'm guessing at the servings as we now have only myself and my DH at home and we had lots left. Excellent with cornbread.
