ReplyDeletePotatoes should be cooked for a while in advance. Cooking the rice and the potatoes together, as it is written in the recipe, doesn't soften the potatoes enough.
ReplyDeleteDid u dice the potatoes? usually diced potatoes are well cooked during the same time as rice is cooked. But sometimes certain type of rice cooks very fast, may be that could be a reason that your potatoes did not cook well.
