How to Prepare Potatoes for Chicken Pot Pie

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village I'm Laura Bandford and I'm going to teach you how to make a delicious chicken pot pie. This segment is about the potato. This is a beautiful big Idaho russet potato, I'm going to keep the skin on or at least some of the skin on when I dice this potato and add it to our stew. Russet potatoes are great because they are starchier and fluffier and they absorb all the great flavors that we are going to be getting in to our stew. They have a nice mouth feel, they are really good comfort food feel to them and I think it is a great addition to a chicken pot pie. What I'm going to do I'm going to slice off the ends, slice down the middle and again like I said I'm going to keep my skin on, that is where the vitamins are. It adds a nice texture and chop them up like this, what I want is a fairly good slice diced, I don't want anything too big, like that. I'm going to continue with the next half and when we come back we are going to work on our carrots and our onions, see you then."
