unicornduke I made the vindaloo recipe again and the potatoes didn't really cook. again.
I boiled them in the stew for over an hour and some of them were still not cooked texture. They weren't hard but they were very odd. They were all in 1/2 thick or less pieces. I wonder if the lemon juice was stopping them from cooking? I can't figure it out.
But lesson learned, cook potatoes separately.
It could have been the type of potatoes but I just cooked that variety on friday as a whole potato in water and it boiled in a reasonable amount of time. hmmmmmmmm
