Add the milk. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Add corn and sausage and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes.
Stir in potatoes and heat through. Season with salt, and pepper, and stir in 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.
