Old potatoes, especially if stored poorly, don't taste very good and aren't as easy to peel as they seem.
Let's figure out what tricks will help you cook dinner from old potatoes so that no one will understand anything.
Trick number one
First, you need to prepare the potatoes for cooking. To do this, pour cold water over the tubers and leave them there for 1.5-2 hours, unpeeled.
The tubers will be saturated with water and will no longer be so limp and wrinkled, making it much easier to peel them.
Trick number two
Excess moisture in the tubers will affect the taste. To avoid boiling watery potatoes, you need to add a little sugar during the cooking process.
To do this, peel the potatoes, pour cold water over them, put the pan on the fire, bring to a boil and add 2 pieces of refined sugar or a couple of spoons of granulated sugar. Also, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice won't hurt.
The sugar will act as a flavor enhancer, making the old potatoes taste little different from the young ones.
And lemon juice is needed to prevent the tubers from darkening during the cooking process.
