Even when preparing such a simple dish as boiled potatoes, you need to follow certain rules.

We'll tell you about the important nuances of cooking potatoes.

How to cook potatoes

To ensure that potatoes retain the maximum amount of nutrients, they should be placed in boiling water, not cold water, as most people do.

The second important rule is that you should not salt the potatoes immediately, but only after the tubers have softened.

To cook potatoes faster, cut the tubers in half. If the potatoes are boiled for mashing, you can cut them into several parts.
