Many housewives do not consider the volume of water used when cooking potatoes to be a fundamental issue.
And in vain, because a lot depends on the amount of liquid.
If you make a mistake, the side dish will lose its bright taste.
But if you use the right amount of water, then the boiled potatoes will turn out not only delicious, but also healthy.
What many housewives do wrong
Some amateur cooks boil potatoes in a large amount of water.
They reason as follows: "Why save? It's better to pour more liquid into the pan so that it's definitely enough."
But we must not forget the following: if you overdo it with water, the vegetable will “give” it its taste, as well as many important compounds and microelements.
How to cook potatoes correctly
It is advisable to carry out thermal processing of nightshade in the minimum permissible amount of water.
You need to pour just enough liquid into the pan so that the potatoes are completely covered with it. There should be almost no space between the "top" potato and the surface of the water.
In this case, the vegetable will retain more vitamins and will not lose its taste.
