What shortcomings can be highlighted?

Temperature

Many housewives don't even think about this question: we habitually put potatoes in a saucepan and fill it with water. However, if we want to achieve a higher quality side dish, you should wait until it boils first.

After this, we add the potatoes into the pan.

You are in a hurry with the salt

Many people are so afraid that the potatoes will turn out bland that they add salt at the very beginning of cooking. This is a big mistake.

As a result, the side dish will not be tasty.

You need to wait at least 10 minutes after boiling. The potatoes will be of high quality and tasty.

Too much water

You probably want to make a side dish with a distinct potato flavor. If you use too much water, you won't get the result.

The potatoes will be too watery, so don't add too much water.
