Plain Boiled Potatoes
Ingredients
Directions
Wash the potatoes in cold water using a vegetable brush.
Rinse and peel, removing any eyes if necessary.
Rinse again in clear water and place in a pot with boiling salted water.
Cook until soft, about 25 minutes, ensuring water nearly evaporates.
Drain excess water, cover with a white cloth to absorb moisture, and serve.
