I found it took an interminable time for the potatoes to get soft. I usually count on 20 minutes of simmer time for potatoes (not 10 as this recipe says), but ended up going for more than 30 minutes. I'm not sure, but I think that frying the potatoes first may have prevented water from penetrating them properly, so if I do this recipe again, I'll saute the onions and spices, then add the stock and lentils and potatoes together. Otherwise, this is good, stick-to-your ribs food, and makes great leftovers!
