Boiled potatoes at first glance seem like a dish that shouldn’t cause any difficulties.
But this is not always true.
Surely you have sometimes encountered the situation when potatoes are clearly served undercooked, and turn out bland and tasteless. This happens because the wrong cooking technique was chosen, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on culinary issues at the BelNovosti online publication.
What you shouldn't forget when cooking potatoes
First of all, it is worth making the right choice of the main product. The tubers should not be too big or too small: the optimal option is the medium size. The potatoes should look approximately the same in order to cook at the same time.
Place the potatoes in a saucepan. For half a kilo of potatoes, take half a liter of water. Turn on the heat and bring to a boil.
Then add one small spoon of salt.
At this stage, you can add dill, parsley, and any other greens to the pot for flavor. Also add a couple of bay leaves.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the side dish under the lid for 15 minutes.
