Some housewives do not add any additional ingredients during the process of cooking potatoes, limiting themselves to adding salt.
However, a side dish can be transformed beyond recognition using simple ingredients.
What can you add to a pot when boiling potatoes?
Vegetables
Not all housewives know that you can add other vegetables while cooking potatoes. This will make the side dish more delicious and rich.
This also helps to make the dish healthier.
It is best to add carrots and onions. You can also add a couple of cloves of peeled garlic.
Spices
We are used to the fact that spices are not added when cooking potatoes as a side dish. However, some housewives sometimes make an exception, introducing aromatic bay leaf.
But you can also add other spices. It is best to do this a few minutes after the liquid boils. The best options are turmeric, basil, rosemary, herbs, paprika, any kind of pepper, thyme and even ginger.
Butter
This product can be added during the cooking process - in this case, the potatoes will be ready much earlier. You can also add it after draining the liquid.
In this case, the side dish will be more rich and tender.
