    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all the ingredients and ensuring they are ready for cooking.

    In a large pot, bring the 8 cups of water to a boil. Add the Old Bay seasoning and salt to taste.

    Cook the Potatoes and Corn

    Add the potato and corn to the boiling water. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potato is tender.
