If you boil potatoes correctly, the side dish will have a rich flavor.
The vegetable also holds its shape well, does not boil over, and does not become hard.
If you want to always achieve a decent result, then the culinary expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", chef Yulia Arkhipova, has listed the main mistakes.
What do they consist of?
Chopping potatoes
Many people try to reduce the cooking time of the side dish, so they chop the potatoes into two or more parts. Of course, this approach makes the taste weaker.
Therefore, do not chop the potatoes before cooking. Otherwise, the side dish will be watery.
You don't take into account the size of the potatoes
You shouldn't put potatoes of different sizes in the pan: they won't be ready at the same time. So try to choose potatoes of approximately the same size.
Large potatoes
It is better to use such potatoes for frying, stewing or making soup. If you try to boil large potatoes, there is a high risk of not cooking them completely.
In most cases, the core of the vegetable will remain raw.
