Most housewives believe that they are the best at boiling potatoes.

There is nothing complicated about this process, as it may seem at first glance: the potatoes need to be washed, peeled, placed in a pot of water and boiled.

However, in practice, everything is far from clear. And it is important to know when to salt a vegetable correctly, so as not to spoil the dish.

When to add salt when boiling potatoes

When cooking potatoes, salt must be added at the exact moment indicated.

Some people think that the spice should be added at the beginning of the potato cooking process. And this would be a grave mistake. The salt will dissolve too slowly, the potatoes will boil over and lose their flavor.
