Comments: 11/15/2023 - I had a red potato and a yukon potato, a red bell pepper, 3 scallions, 1 avocado, and parsley. as well as the pepper, the eggs, and the juice of one lime. I reduced the salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
11/15/2023 - I used 24-oz of baby potatoes with a red bell pepper, one avocado, and I omitted the lime juice. I omitted the salt. It took about 10 minutes for the potatoes to become tender.
