The first step in the process is boiling the potatoes in cold, salted water. Getting the water to incorporate enough salt is essential, as it enhances the flavor of the potatoes. This step is particularly important—don’t skimp on the salt! The boiling should ensure that the potatoes cook evenly, and it’s crucial to monitor them closely to avoid undercooking.
Once boiled, let them cool slightly before peeling. It’s recommended to handle the potatoes while they are still warm, as this makes peeling easier. Be cautious, as the potatoes can be quite hot.
