Why aren't my potatoes cooked?
I had a 3lb roast on a bed of baby potatoes (smaller than a ping-pong ball but larger than a grape) and onions at 375F for almost 3 hours. The roast came out great (cooked to 150F internally), but the potatoes are still raw in the middle. Shouldn't they have cooked by then? And what can I do in the future to prevent this?
As per comments: There was also a pizza stone in the oven. Could that have played a factor? It was preheated with the oven, as suggested in Storing Pizza Stone in Oven. The oven was preheated about an hour (my oven doesn't beep, just has a change in light color, so sometimes we forget we were preheating and wander off).
Best Answer
Put the roast on the bottom and the potatoes around the edges. Cover everything with red wine (or whatever fluid you are using)

Quick Answer about "Why aren't my potatoes cooked?"
During the growing season, unusually cold weather in a field may cause the potato matter to remain dense thru the length of the center of the potato. When baking, I have actually had it become stringy and resist even cooking it out in the microwave.Why are my potatoes taking so long to bake?
The oven is too hot. If you need to speed that up, bump it to 450\xb0F for 45 minutes. (Note: Your baking time will vary depending on the size of your potato and how hot your oven runs.) But don't go hotter than that.Why are my potatoes not roasting?
To make crispy roast potatoes, the temperature of the oven needs to be hot 220\xb0C or 425\xb0F - but if the oven is too hot the potatoes will burn before they crisp up. If the oven temperature is too cold your potatoes will not be crispy.AND WHY AREN'T YOU IN UNIFORM ? | TIKTOK COMPILATION
