Name: Boiled Potatoes

Ingredients:

• Red or purple potatoes

Instructions:

• Scrub the potatoes
• In a saucepan, cover them with about an inch of cold water
• Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Do not cover the pot.
• Check with a fork, knife, or skewer to determine whether done. Most will be done in 10 to 20 minutes
• Drain the potatoes and serve. The water may be reserved for use in soups.

Comments: 1/16/2016 - I used full-grown, whole potatoes, and boiled them for over 20 minutes. They were done, but still quite firm.
2/10/2018 - I had seven medium-sized red potatoes, quartered. They were soft after 13 minutes from when the boiling began.
