Boiled Potatoes
Ingredients
Directions
Peel old potatoes and soak them in cold water for 1 hour before boiling.
Place the soaked old potatoes in fresh cold water and bring to a boil.
For new potatoes, place them directly in boiling water.
Prepare new potatoes just before cooking; they are better steamed than boiled.
