A culinary trick is valuable when guests are on the doorstep and the side dish is not ready. Skilled housewives cook a pot of potatoes in less than a quarter of an hour.
Even some chefs use this trick. It is necessary to follow three steps to get the desired result.
The tubers are peeled as usual. Then the vegetable is cut into 4-6 pieces, depending on the size of the potato.
The potatoes are placed in cold water and then transferred to a saucepan. The vegetable is salted and immediately poured with boiling water. The authors of the trick specified that this way the potatoes retain their beneficial properties. The water should only slightly cover the vegetable.
Then add a small piece of butter to the pan. A film forms on the surface, thanks to which the side dish will cook twice as fast and acquire a pleasant creamy taste.
