Ingredients
Scale
- Potatoes
- 1 tsp. salt
- Cold water
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes clean using a potato scrubber. Remove any sprouts. Peel potatoes if desired then cut into evenly sized pieces or keep them whole.
- Place potatoes in a medium to large saucepan. Add enough cold water to just cover the potatoes. Season with salt.
- Bring potatoes to a boil, lid on, then reduce heat and simmer with the lid off. No need to stir potatoes.
- Check potatoes every 5 minutes. Most potatoes will take between 10 to 20 minutes.
- Potatoes are done when tender. Use a knife, fork or skewer to pierce a potato. If the utensil slides through easily, it is cooked.
- After cooking, strain potatoes through a sieve and serve.
