Add in the diced potatoes, im using a Yukon gold potato which I did not peel, you can peel if you'd like, make sure to dice the potatoes small enough so that they don't take forever to cook. Mix in the potatoes and continue cooking with the vermicelli for another 5-7 minutes or until most of the vermicelli is golden brown and toasted.

To a blender, add in the tomatillos, jalapeño, onion, garlic, cilantro, 2 cups of the chicken broth, the cilantro, salt, pepper, cumin and oregano. Blend until fully combined. Then add in the spinach, if needed, remove about one cup of the blended sauce so the spinach will fit. Blend once more until fully combined.
