  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
