The technique for cooking potatoes will differ greatly depending on what dish we plan to prepare next.
For example, this ingredient is often included in salads.
The component can be found in potato salad, Olivier salad, vinaigrette and a number of others, recalls Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on cooking issues for the online publication BelNovosti.
When preparing potatoes for salad, it is extremely important that they remain intact and firm. To achieve this, the potatoes are boiled in their skins. But this is not the only condition.
What should be added to the pan when cooking?
Vinegar
Many people know that this liquid helps potatoes maintain their texture. In this case, they will not fall apart into crumbs in salads.
For every liter of water, take a large spoon of vinegar.
Lemon or lemon juice
The action scheme of this component is the same, but it is chosen more often because of its naturalness. For each liter of water, you can put a slice of fruit or a large spoon of juice in a saucepan.
The ingredient can also be replaced with citric acid: a small spoon will be quite enough.
