    They just need to cook for a while longer. Is there enough liquid in there? If you want to quicken up the process you could fish them out and cut them slightly smaller.

    Good luck at Assisi, I may see you there.

    What is Assisi?

    Hi CH27,

    It's an animal sanctuary...a wonderful place that does a fantastic job.

    Thanks,I made sure the was a lot of liquid & cut them into 1cm dice...I'm going to take them out when it's cool & steam the spuds a bit to soften them before adding them back in.

    As PW rightly says,ASSISI is an animal shelter where I got Daisy from,if you saw the "Undercover Boss" episode about the Blue Cross,the animals that came from Northern Ireland,(not Ireland as said in the programme,) came from the ASSISI.They operate a 'No Kill' policy.
