Any housewife knows that cooking mashed potatoes takes a lot of time. The main problem is due to the cooking of the main ingredient - potatoes.
Details
Of course, there is nothing difficult in the heat treatment of vegetables: it is enough to throw potatoes into a pot of water, turn on the stove and wait. You just don't want to wait half an hour until the product reaches the desired degree of readiness.
However, there is a simple way to save time: cooking potatoes will take no more than seven minutes.
As a result, the cook will quickly cope with the preparation of the dish.
Method "cooking with petals"
When creating puree, there is no need to preserve the integrity of the potato: the vegetable will still be processed with a pestle.
This means that potatoes can be safely cooked in chopped form. Due to this, the dish will be ready much earlier than usual.
Before sending the vegetable to the pan, it should be cut into petals - as before frying. The thickness of each piece should not exceed 2 mm.
It is not necessary to pour a lot of water into the container with potatoes. A volume sufficient to cover the chopped nightshade is quite enough.
A small volume of liquid will contribute to early boiling, and the small size of potato pieces will help to quickly reach readiness. Potatoes can be turned into mashed potatoes in just a few minutes.
