I found that the potatoes took a little longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time.

I'm not a big fan of slow cooker recipes, but this one was actually really good. The vegetables were tender and flavorful, and the potatoes were fluffy.

The vegetables were a bit mushy for my taste, but the potatoes were perfect.
