Potatoes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel old potatoes and soak them in cold water for a while before cooking.

  2. Scrape the skin off new potatoes before cooking.

  3. Cook potatoes in boiling water for 30 minutes or steam them for better results.

  4. Serve potatoes hot in an open dish to avoid them becoming watery.

  5. For reheating, boil unpeeled potatoes, wash them clean, peel while hot, and set aside.

  6. Once cool, slice or chop for quick frying or stewing.
