Notes
1. Use a starchy potato for the best results.
2. Always start your potatoes in cold water so the potato will cook evenly all the way through.
3. Always salt the water when you boil potatoes as they absorb the liquid they’re cooked in. This ensures you get a head start on a great tasting potato.
