Boiled potatoes for the kids’ afternoon snack! They’re warm, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. A little dip in sugar and they’re irresistible! This recipe guarantees a wonderfully satisfying snack that’s both simple and comforting.
Ingredients- 6 Potatoes
- 1/2 Tbsp Salt
- 400ml Water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Wash 6 medium-sized potatoes thoroughly under running water. Then, use a vegetable peeler to carefully remove the skins. For best results, keep the peeled potatoes submerged in water until you’re ready to cook them to prevent browning.
Step 2
2. In a pot, pour in 400ml of water and add 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Stir to dissolve the salt, which will enhance the potatoes’ natural flavor. Gently place the prepared potatoes into the salted water.
Step 3
3. Now, let’s manage the heat. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat for the first 10 minutes. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes. This total cooking time of about 20 minutes will ensure the potatoes are tender all the way through. You can check for doneness by easily piercing a potato with a fork.
Step 4
4. Carefully remove the perfectly boiled potatoes from the pot. For a delightful treat, dip them into a little sugar before taking a bite. The fluffy, soft texture of the warm potato combined with the sweetness of the sugar creates a truly satisfying snack. Enjoy your simple yet nutritious boiled potatoes!
