Boiling Potatoes
Ingredients
Directions
Clean and wash the potatoes, leaving the skin on.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the potatoes.
Boil until a fork can be easily thrust through them.
Add cold water to the pot and let the potatoes sit for two minutes.
Pour off the water and partially cover the pot lid.
Keep the potatoes over low heat until the steam evaporates.
Peel the potatoes and serve in an open dish.
