Steamed Potatoes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes. Optionally, peel them.

  2. Fill the steamer's saucepan with water and bring it to a boil.

  3. Place the potatoes in the steamer, sprinkle with salt, and cover with the lid.

  4. Steam for about 30 minutes. Check if done by piercing with a skewer.

  5. If peeled before steaming, shake the steamer to make the potatoes floury. If not peeled, skin them quickly and serve.
