Almost all of us do this and then find out that we are actually making a mistake. Of course, boiling potatoes in water is not a crime. But it can be done better. And it’s not just about baking or steaming. The secret to preparing tasty potatoes lies in the use of… stock.
- Depending on your preference, you can use vegetable or meat stock.
- It is a good idea to cut or even peel the potatoes in advance to absorb as much flavor as possible.
Later, you simply serve them as a side dish for dinner and the household can’t get enough of them. Such potatoes are also great as a base for mashed potatoes.
- Another, less surprising idea is to cook potatoes in milk. In this way, they get a delicate flavor and a velvety texture.
However, it does not end there.
- Chefs advise that you can also add half a cup of lemon or vinegar. They will not darken or fall apart and will also acquire an original taste.
And if you don’t want to experiment that much, we recommend adding your favorite spices and herbs to the water with the boiling potatoes. Cumin, pepper, allspice, but also marjoram or fenugreek will work well. This is how you can extract the maximum flavor from ordinary home potatoes.
