Boiled Potatoes Recipe 2 ingredients

To prepare this Boiled Potatoes Recipe 2, first add a teaspoonful of salt to a generaous quart of boiling water; put in the potatoes and let cook until tender. It will take from twenty to thirty minutes. Drain thoroughly, sprinkle lightly with salt and shake the pan back and forth on the hot stove lid. If they cannot be served at once, move to the back of the range and cover with a cloth. Salt sprinkled on the hot, moist potato, on account of its affinity for water, tends to draw it out and make the potato mealy.
