Tasty but I cooked the potatoes for far longer than 20 minutes and they did not soften. They are edible but hard after almost an hour. Apparently the acid in the tomatoes prevents the cell walls if the potatoes from softening. Next time I will keep the tomatoes out until the potatoes are fork tender. The recipe should be edited to include this. Thanks.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this feedback and experience with the recipe, Art! I'm glad it was still tasty, although I'm sorry the potatoes didn’t soften as expected. In case it helps, the cooking time can vary depending on the type of potato used, how large the pieces are cut, and the strength of the simmer. As you mentioned, tomatoes can slow down softening in some cases, though we haven’t run into this in our tests with this particular recipe. For now, we’ve bumped up the cook time in the recipe a touch to allow a bit more wiggle room. We really appreciate you flagging this, and it's something we'll keep in mind for future recipes, so thank you! 🤗

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate you taking the time. Next time I will partially cook the potatoes in the broth before adding the tomatoes then simmer until done. Many thanks.

The dish was good, but the yogurt really elevates it! Without it, it felt like something was missing...

Dear PUL team,

On the pictures I saw a bouillon cube, but I could not find one in the recipe.
In the end I cooked it without and it was super tasty ☺️

Hey Andrea, so glad you enjoyed the recipe, and great eye! We initially used a bouillon cube in this one, although we opted to remove it after testing the recipe again as we felt the salt was enough 🤗
