Why add sugar when boiling potatoes

By adding a small amount of sugar to the water during cooking, you can significantly improve the taste of old potatoes.

One or two teaspoons is enough. If the sugar is lump, add two pieces.

It is recommended to add a teaspoon of lemon juice along with the sugar. This will help prevent the potatoes from turning brown.

To ensure that potatoes retain the maximum amount of nutrients, place the tubers in boiling water rather than cold water.
