Please STOP boiling potatoes in WATER!
If you’re determined to boil potatoes (we won’t judge!), at least do it right:
- Use salted water —and we mean heavily salted , like the sea. This helps season the potatoes from the inside out.
- Cook them whole or in large chunks to minimize water absorption.
