Add this to potatoes and they will cook twice as fast
Potatoes are a versatile vegetable in cooking.

But in the usual hustle and bustle, you want the process to go faster, so that you can devote more time not to cooking, but to more interesting things.
But how can you make the vegetable cook twice as fast without sacrificing its taste?
There is a way out of this situation!
Experienced housewives recommend adding one simple and affordable ingredient to the water during cooking, which is available in any kitchen.
We are talking about oil. You can use not only sunflower oil, but also butter.
For one standard saucepan you can take two tablespoons of the product.
The ingredient should be added at the very beginning of cooking. The oil will create a film on the surface of the water that will retain heat, meaning the potatoes will cook much faster.
