How to Boil Potatoes for Mashed Potatoes
Before you start cooking, the root vegetables need to be washed and peeled.
Then they need to be filled with water so that the liquid completely covers the vegetables.
You need to cook the potatoes on high heat until they boil. At the same time, you can add salt.
If foam appears on the surface, it needs to be removed.
Continue cooking over medium heat.
The cooking process takes about 20-30 minutes.
How to Boil Potatoes for Salad
The fruits should first be cut into pieces.
This trick will help you cook the vegetable faster.
But potatoes will taste much better if you boil them in their skins and only then start peeling and cutting them.
You also need to add a teaspoon of table salt during the cooking process so that the potatoes do not boil over.
If necessary, the finished potatoes can be dried a little in a dry pan over medium heat.
Chefs do not recommend carrying out this procedure for longer than two minutes.
