At this time, wash and peel the potatoes. Then cut them into small cubes or sticks. Boil water in a kettle. Then add the chopped potatoes to the pot with onions, carrots, mushrooms, and chicken, pouring boiling water until it covers the potatoes. There shouldn't be too much water. Stir. Cook until the potatoes are soft but not fully cooked.
