If you cook potatoes correctly, the result will always be decent.
However, preparing a side dish has its own rules that should be followed.
It is also important to avoid common mistakes, clarifies Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.
What shortcomings can be highlighted?
Temperature
Many housewives don't even think about this question: we habitually put potatoes in a saucepan and fill it with water. However, if we want to achieve a higher quality side dish, you should wait until it boils first.
After this, we add the potatoes into the pan.
You are in a hurry with the salt
Many people are so afraid that the potatoes will turn out bland that they add salt at the very beginning of cooking. This is a big mistake.
As a result, the side dish will not be tasty.
You need to wait at least 10 minutes after boiling. The potatoes will be of high quality and tasty.
Too much water
You probably want to make a side dish with a distinct potato flavor. If you use too much water, you won't get the result.
The potatoes will be too watery, so don't add too much water.
