OK, your dutch oven is the same size as mine.... it should work for
you. Good luck! BTW, you'll be surprised by how brown and crispy
those potatoes turn out. Try to stir them once and a while, maybe
twice. If you can't, they should be ok anyway. Drizzle the potatoes
(waxy potatoes work well for this) with olive oil and sprinkle with
freshly chopped rosemary and garlic, mix well before placing the hens
on top. If the potatoes aren't browned enough, raise the heat and
leave them in the oven (uncovered) while you let the chicken rest.
