It would seem that nothing could be simpler than boiling potatoes.
However, there are some nuances here too. For example, potatoes often boil over and turn into mashed potatoes.
If the potatoes are not boiled for mashed potatoes, but for salad, this becomes a problem.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking, a chef and a fourth-class baker from the online publication Belnovosti, tells us what to add to the water when boiling potatoes so that they don’t overcook.
What to add to potatoes so that they don't boil over
Adding baking soda to the water will help you get perfect boiled potatoes.
For one and a half kilograms of potatoes, half a teaspoon of soda is enough.
Adding table vinegar (a tablespoon per 2 liters of water) also helps prevent potatoes from overcooking.
