1. 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.
2. Place potatoes in a medium to large saucepan. Add enough cold water to just cover the potatoes. Season with salt.
3. Bring potatoes to a boil, lid on, then reduce heat and simmer with the lid off. No need to stir potatoes.
4. Check potatoes every 5 minutes. Most potatoes will take between 10 to 20 minutes.
5. Potatoes are done when tender. Use a knife, fork or skewer to pierce a potato. If the utensil slides through easily, it is cooked.
6. After cooking, strain potatoes through a sieve and serve.
