I've found some Beef Stew recipes using "White" potatoes, and some recipes using "Sweet" potatoes. Cooking times for each recipe vary all over the place. Some Sweet potato recipes take 6 - 10 hrs. on LOW. Some White potato recipes also range from 6 - 10 hrs.
So I combined both potatoes and checked the stew at 7 hrs. The White potatoes were perfect and the Sweet potatoes were mushy. Granted my Crockpot runs fast, but shouldn't the potatoes have cooked at the same time?
Next time, should I add White potatoes first, and then Sweet potatoes 2- 3 hrs. later?
Oh, as to the previous post on thickeners, I found Quinoa works great. It sucks up the liquid and forms a really thick gravy.
