There is no need to peel the potatoes before cutting them into the cubes. The skins hold most of the nutrients found in potatoes. You may also substitute sweet potatoes for the white potatoes if you prefer. You can also substitute pork for the chicken or if you are looking for a vegetarian dish use seitan, a wheat product usually found with the tofu in most supermarkets.
