Many gourmets don't like it when boiled potatoes turn out yellowish.
Such cooks are sure that the side dish should be distinguished by its snow-white color.
In their opinion, only if this condition is met can the appearance of the dish be called appetizing.
It would seem that the color of the dish depends on the type of potato or the amount of starch, but not on the method of preparation.
In fact, there is a trick that guarantees snow-white potatoes. It is a trick called using an additional ingredient.
What to add to water when cooking
The secret to the snow-white color of boiled potatoes is the addition of an acidic component.
Some cooks add a little vinegar to the pan. But it's better not to risk it. It's worth choosing an additive with a less pungent taste.
The ideal option is lemon juice. One teaspoon of the drink will be enough to give the garnish the desired color.
In addition, the gourmet can be sure: citrus juice will not spoil the taste of the dish. On the contrary, due to the sour additive, the potatoes can turn out much more appetizing.
