Question:
Step #2 says:
“Now add in all of the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the potatoes and spinach. Stir well let simmer covered stirring frequently for 25 minutes.”
Should this say, “Now add in all of the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the tomatoes….?
If so, this would mean cooking the potatoes for a total of 35 minutes. Is this correct? It seems a bit long for russet potatoes.
This was surprisingly delicious. I cooked in a crockpot then ate it the next day. Thanks for the cheap meal idea.
Typo in step 3 – stir in the diced POTATOES.
