Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication Belnovosti, a chef and fourth-class baker, told us about a tasty life hack.

How and why to throw garlic into a pan when boiling potatoes

When boiling nightshade, throw 2-3 garlic cloves into boiling water.

It is desirable that the slices of the spicy vegetable be crushed beforehand.

In this case, the garlic will “give” the tubers more of a bright flavor.

A couple of minutes before the end of the side dish, carefully remove the garlic cloves from the pan with a spoon and throw them away: the additional ingredient has done its “work”, and it is not quite suitable for consumption.

Using garlic additive when preparing boiled potatoes is a guarantee of getting an incredibly appetizing and aromatic side dish: you and your family will really like it.
