and cook until the onion is transparent. add the garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and cook for one minute. mix in the potatoes and cook for a couple minutes, stirring often. i like to use this cutting board so i don’t get burned! to the pot add the corn and chicken stock. the potatoes should be just covered by the stock. bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
