Boiling potatoes is a fairly simple culinary procedure, but it also has a number of rules that can significantly improve the quality of the side dish.
If you follow some recommendations, you can serve this aromatic and tasty vegetable to the table.
What are these tricks?
Choose smaller potatoes
Some housewives cut the tubers for cooking, but this is a very dubious practice. Some of the nutrients are "washed out" of the potato, and its taste becomes less pronounced.
Therefore, it is worth choosing small tubers and boiling them whole.
Water
Not everyone understands that the quality of the potatoes themselves will largely depend on the water temperature. If you want to make a tasty and high-quality side dish, wait until the potatoes boil before adding them.
Spices
After 10 minutes, when the water with potatoes starts to boil again, add aromatic herbs, a couple of cloves of garlic, turmeric, bay leaf or paprika to the pan.
This will make the side dish incredibly flavorful.
