This is nonsense. The potatoes have no liquid to cook in in this recipe. I had to add an extra cup and half of the milk, otherwise the potatoes would have stayed hard. Like the person before me, I recomment boiling them and then just add boiled potatoes.

Thank you so much for reaching out to us. That is a good tip about using extra milk to boil the potatoes. Did you end up adding just enough to cover the potatoes?

The potatoes took a long time to cook in this recipe. I recommend boiling them first before adding.
