Usually, housewives, as soon as the potatoes are cooked, try to pour out the water.
But experienced cooks and gardeners note that it is better to save such a decoction.
The fact is that the liquid that remains is saturated with starch and useful vitamins that can be useful in the kitchen or at the dacha.
As experts note, water with a high starch content is an excellent thickener, which helps when you need to make delicious homemade sauces.
In addition, such potato water can be safely used to prepare rich soups.
Homemade bread lovers can also use the decoction to add to the dough to make the baked goods more airy.
It is also worth adding that potato broth can be used to water plants in the garden or at home.
This remedy has a positive effect on immunity and the condition of the roots.
But it is important to consider that in this case such a product should not contain salt or any additional components. Such a liquid for irrigation can be stored for no more than a day.
