Commentary for Berakhot 76:8
ולא היא דכ"ע שלקות מברכין עליהן בפה"א ועד כאן לא קאמר ר' יוסי התם אלא משום דבעינן טעם מצה וליכא אבל הכא אפי' רבי יוסי מודה
It is not so ; for it is agreed by all that over boiled vegetables the benediction is "...Who createst the fruit of the ground" ; and only in this case does R. Jose say so because we require the taste of the unleavened bread, and it is not there [if the wafer is cooked]. Hence, however, even R. Jose admits it.
