Crockpot potato woes? Starchy potatoes, not enough broth, or chunky cuts can make them stay tough. Fix it with softer potato types, more liquid, or smaller cubes.

You might also want to check the temperature setting on your crockpot—sometimes a lower setting can prolong the cooking time. Hope this helps!

It might be the acidity in your soup! Try adding potatoes later in the cooking process and make sure they're submerged in liquid. Hopefully, that'll do the trick!
