There can be nothing simpler than boiled potatoes, but this dish also has its own secrets of preparation, so that it turns out not ordinary, but delicious.

Many people think that everything depends on the type of vegetable, but this is not true.

Here are 5 secrets to making delicious potatoes at home.

1. Large potatoes need to be cut into pieces so that all the tubers are approximately the same size. In addition, small tubers cook faster.

2. When the water with potatoes boils, you can add peeled carrots, garlic or bell pepper. All parameters change - taste, color and aroma. If you cook mashed potatoes, then you can leave the vegetables in, with the exception, perhaps, of garlic.

3. If you don't want to make a vinaigrette, add spices or aromatic herbs during the cooking process. This could be bay leaf, turmeric, dill or ready-made sets of aromatic herbs.

4. These same additives can be used after the potatoes are already cooked. You can finely chop and mix together garlic, fresh dill and other greens, add them to the potatoes, cover with a lid, shake and let the aroma soak in.

5. When serving potatoes, you can simply drizzle them with unrefined aromatic sunflower oil or add butter and sour cream.
