Meanwhile, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Cool and cut into 1/2-in. slices. In a large saucepan, cook the jalapenos, cumin and remaining onions in butter for 5 minutes. Set aside 1/4 cup corn stock. Add remaining corn stock along with potatoes and sausage to saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
