Many cooks are happy to take on the task of preparing boiled potatoes.

The process is relatively simple and the result is a nice side dish.

However, there are mistakes. It is enough to choose the wrong heat or salt the water at the wrong time, and the dish turns out to be not as tasty as you would like.

However, following the three rules below will help ensure that the potatoes have the perfect consistency and rich aroma.

Medium heat is a guarantee of whole boiled potatoes.

Time to add salt

Some cooks add salt to the water immediately after it boils, or even earlier.

You should never do this, otherwise the vegetable may turn out hard.

It is advisable to add sodium chloride a couple of minutes before the end of cooking.

Another option that is welcomed is to add salt to the dish that is already prepared and placed on a plate.

Using greens

Additional ingredients will help transform ordinary boiled potatoes into an ideal dish.

The greens will have a positive effect on the taste of the garnish. Moreover, they should be in boiling water.

In addition, a few minutes before the end of cooking, you can add bay leaves to the pan.
