Ingredients

2 tbsp. GOYA® Achiotina

¾ cup finely chopped scallions, white and light green parts plus 2 tbsp. for garnish

1½ lbs. Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and cut in 1½ inch cubes

2 tsp. GOYA® Adobo with Pepper

3 cups hot water

1 packet GOYA® Sazón without Annatto

1 cup milk

1 cup GOYA® Frozen Cut Corn
