- Pour in the fish stock and white wine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook until they are tender, approximately 10 minutes.

- Remove the pot from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Tips
- Feel free to add other seafood such as scallops or crab for an even richer flavor.
