Everyone loves new potatoes and is ready to eat them just like that, seasoned with butter and fresh herbs. After a lean winter, you don't want anything else. But young potatoes will be even tastier if they are properly prepared for cooking and the vegetable is properly cleaned.

Details

Here are some tips to help you prepare lunch or dinner.

• The potatoes should be the same size so that they cook at the same time.
• Young potatoes are poured with boiling water before cooking. If you keep it in cold water, the potatoes will turn out liquid.
• Clean the potatoes before cooking, otherwise they will darken quickly, and before taking the knife, keep the potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes.
• The skin from the tubers is not cut, but scraped with a knife, vegetable peeler or just a clean sponge for washing dishes (with its hard side).
• To make the potatoes cook faster, add a little butter (20 grams) to the water.
• The water in the pan should be about two fingers above the level of the potatoes.
• If you are preparing mashed potatoes, you need to salt the young potatoes at the end of cooking. Potatoes will be denser if you salt them at the very beginning (1 teaspoon of salt per 0,5 kg of potatoes).
• After boiling, the potatoes are boiled over low heat so that they are evenly cooked.

And lastly, it is best to serve young potatoes to the table, sprinkled with fresh herbs and richly seasoned with butter.
