Add the white wine and cook for an additional minute. Add the diced potato and sauté, followed by the coconut milk, stock and saffron. Stir and bring to a boil. Simmer for and stir every five minute on low heat to ensure potato cooks evenly. You may add a little more stock if you the liquid is evaporating quickly. Taste the potatoes from time tot time to ensure they are soft but firm and season with salt and pepper and add the frozen peas and stir to combine. Remove from the stove and set aside. The Potato risotto should be loose with slight thickness
