Notes
  • About when to add the corn:
    • If using fresh corn, add 1 hour before the end of cooking
    • If using frozen corn, add with all the other ingredients before cooking
  • Frozen potatoes can be substituted; however, be aware they may not stay firm after cooking (the recipe photo was made with frozen hash brown potatoes)
