Cooking boiled potatoes is not the most difficult culinary task.
But there is a problem, which is that the process takes a long time.
You have to wait about half an hour: this is how long the tubers must be in boiling water to reach readiness.
But you can cheat and significantly speed up the thermal processing of vegetables.
To do this, you need to use one simple additive, which was described by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova .
How to speed up the cooking of potatoes
To do this, you need to add literally a few drops of vegetable oil to just boiled water.
Both sunflower and olive oil will do.
The fatty product will create a transparent film on the surface of the liquid.
The result will be a pressure cooker effect: the potatoes will be cooked at a higher temperature.
Thanks to this, the tubers will cook much faster.
It is worth emphasizing that this culinary life hack “works” both when preparing peeled vegetables and when boiling potatoes in their skins.
