In today's article I will tell you about three mistakes when cooking potatoes. Personally, I have often done two of them before. I think that many people reading this article, just like me before, did not even think about the fact that they were doing something wrong when cooking potatoes. And these little tricks really affect the quality of cooking potatoes, now my potatoes and mashed potatoes are tastier!
1. When peeling potatoes it is necessary to cut the peel as thin as possible. The thing is that the most beneficial substances in potatoes are found directly under the skin. The thicker the peel we cut, the less our body will benefit from the potatoes we eat. No wonder jacket potatoes are the healthiest dish of this vegetable. I didn’t know about it before.
2. I knew about this trick, but sometimes I forgot to use it. After peeling the potatoes, be sure to let it soak in cold water.This will rid the vegetable of nitrates, excess starch and even reduce the calorie content of the dish.
Puree, after the performed procedure, also turns out to be more tender and luxuriant.3. But I always made the third mistake. Firstly, in no case should boil potatoes in the same water in which they were soaked, I think after the second point it is clear. But putting vegetables in cold water on the stove is also not recommended. Correctly bring water to a boil and toss the fruit. Thus, the potatoes will not lose nutrients. By the way, it is worth salting potatoes only when it becomes soft a few minutes before the end of cooking. Liked the article - rate it like!
