Boiled potatoes in their skins are an extremely healthy and tasty dish.

Thanks to the "uniform", nutrients remain in the vegetable, which has a positive effect on our health.

However, it is worth preparing the side dish correctly.

Which method is optimal?

First of all, you need to choose a variety that holds its shape well and is not prone to boiling. The potatoes should be young, as old vegetables are not suitable for such a dish.

It is worth choosing potatoes of the same size so that the dish is ready in an instant.

Wash the product thoroughly to remove all sand. You can use the hard part of a dish sponge for this purpose. Put the vegetable in a saucepan.

The liquid should rise to a height of four centimeters.

Wait for the liquid to actively boil and reduce the flame intensity. Add salt in the middle of the process. Bring the potatoes to full readiness under the lid.

After draining the water, the potatoes will need to be left in the pan on the stove for five to seven minutes.

This process takes from 20 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.
