If you want to keep the potatoes whole for a side dish or salad, this is not an easy task.
Potatoes often boil too much, so they are only suitable as a base for making dumplings and mashed potatoes.
However, experienced housewives have found a way to cope with this difficulty.
What is this curious method?
If it is important to you that the potatoes turn out spectacular and retain the integrity of the tuber, then during the cooking process you need to add a small amount of soda to the pan.
It is customary to take no more than half a small spoon of powder per kilogram of vegetables.
There is no need to worry about the appearance of an extraneous taste - this amount of soda will not be enough to worsen the taste of the side dish.
Also, some housewives believe that lemon juice can also cope with this task. It is enough to add just one small spoon of the component to the pan. This also does not affect the taste.
