I chopped up some potatoes and added some ground beef and a bell pepper with some sauce and a couple spices and wrapped it up in aluminum foil. I put it in the oven for about an hour on 400. When I took it out the potatoes had the consistency and texture of an apple. I put them in a frying pan for like five minutes and then they were cooked properly. Does anyone know why?

I believe this happens when the potatoes aren't dried after they are chopped.
So what I do is:
Skin/peel -> wash -> dry -> cut

Can dry after cutting too or both, whichever works.

Thanks

You are welcome.
I am glad I could help.

Let me know how your potatoes turn out next time!
