  • ½ cup chicken stock or turkey stock
  • 1½ cup water
  • ¼ tsp Mrs Dash Original seasoning blend
  • ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 medium potatoes or 1 large potato, chopped into bite-sized pieces (no need to peel the potato)

  • 3-4 oz fresh spinach or frozen spinach, thawed and drained.
Instructions
