Well, after the long 10 hours, the small potatoes were still semi-hard, but it is a great dish, the meat was superb. I downsized the recipe online to 6 people but it barely fit in my big crockpot. It's a good recipe, I guess I need to do it again to get it perfect.

Yummy! My hubby said he doesn't like corned beef but I made him try it anyways and he loved it! :) Now he wants me to make it a regular meal. Thanks! PS. I did add the packet that came with the brisket and instead of pepper I used 6 peppercorns.

I Plan on making this Tomorrow for Actual St Patricks day dinner. My question is... Do I add the spice packet and stuff that comes with the Corned beef or leave it out? It doesn't say in the recipe. Another poster said she used the spice packet that comes with the corned beef so thinking that's what I should do.
