Baby Potatoes with Tomato-Corn Saute

This very recent Cooking Light recipe was interesting to me because it combined a lot of veggies that I enjoy and also is very low in calories and WW Points Plus....only 1 point per serving!  I am not quite sure how that math works, because this does seem to have several starchy vegetables in it that would push the Points value up a bit more, but I'll take it.  This recipe was delicious and great with grilled chicken and a green salad.

BABY POTATOES WITH TOMATO-CORN SAUTE

Recipe Notes

I don't like hard or crunchy potatoes, so I increased the boiling time by 3-5 minutes to make sure mine were tender.  I also used frozen corn instead of fresh and it tasted just as good.  FYI, this photo was taken before I added the cheese.
