Any housewife knows that it is best to boil potatoes whole, so that the product turns out more delicious and rich.
If you divide the vegetable into parts, it will be ready quite quickly, but there will be one significant drawback: the potato will have a very distinct watery taste.
This method is used only because of the speed of cooking the side dish. Not everyone knows that you can safely put the potatoes in the pan whole. Thanks to one trick, the product will be ready much faster than usual.
What is the culinary secret?
Not all housewives remember that when boiling potatoes, it is customary to add a stick of good vegetable oil to the pot. Some believe that this is done to add a hint of flavor. But this is not the only reason.
Thanks to the special chemical composition of the oil, the potatoes will be cooked much faster.
It is noted that you can also use vegetable oil. For a standard portion of potatoes (up to a kilogram), take no more than two spoons of oil.
You can also add garlic and herbs. If you add the ingredients during cooking together with the oil, the taste of the garnish will be more pronounced.
