This one's a loser. First of all, the instructions don't add up. Even sliced to a quarter inch, those potatoes have to cook longer than a half hour to be edible. And you'll need plenty more than half-cup of water if you don't want to burn your pot. Even with these amendments, it was like prison food. While I don't make great claims for myself as a cook, if something doesn't come out right I can usually tell what went wrong and how to improve it. As for this recipe: my advice is don't bother
