Potatoes are naturally starchy and absorbent, meaning they soak up whatever liquid they’re cooked in. When boiled in plain water, much of their natural flavor leaches out, leaving them bland and in need of extra seasoning. However, by using the right techniques, you can enhance their natural taste and achieve a delicious outcome. Here’s how to cook potatoes to maximize their flavor:
Step 1: Choosing the Right Potatoes
Different potato varieties have different textures and flavors. For boiling, Yukon Gold and red potatoes are ideal due to their buttery texture and ability to hold their shape. Russet potatoes, while great for mashed dishes, tend to absorb too much water and can become mushy.
Step 2: Prepping the Potatoes
• Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove dirt.
• Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on adds texture and extra nutrients.
• Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks for uniform cooking. Larger chunks will take longer to cook, while smaller pieces may become too soft too quickly.
