Notes
How to Boil Potatoes:
Peel and wash 4 pounds of red potatoes. Chop into large chunks after peeling roughly ⅔ of the skin, leaving some on the potatoes. In a large saucepan of water, boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Make sure to drain well.Information on Nutrition
