My 2 Best Tips For Making Potato Recipes

Salt Your Cooking Water:When boiling potatoes, your water should taste like the ocean. This is your only chance to season the potato from the inside out. Under-salted cooking water leads to bland potatoes that no amount of seasoning can fix later.

Start With the Right Potato:Starchy potatoes like Russets break down beautifully for fluffy mashed potatoes, while waxy varieties like fingerlings hold their shape perfectly in gratins and roasted dishes.Sweet potatoes are great to use in any type of potato dish—as long as you want a sweeter taste!

Potato FAQs

Expert Tips for Perfect Potatoes

• Salt Cooking Water:When cooking potatoes in water, always salt it very well. This gives the salt a chance to season the potatoes on the inside and not just on the outside. You’ll also want to taste your potato dish near the end and add salt as needed.
• Taste & Adjust Seasoning:Potatoes are like flavor sponges, but they need proper seasoning to shine. Always taste your finished dish and adjust salt, pepper, and herbs as needed. Fresh herbs added at the very end brighten the entire dish and make it taste restaurant-quality.
• Hot Potatoes & Dairy:Let hot potatoes cool slightly before adding dairy. Adding cold butter or cream to piping hot potatoes can cause them to become gluey. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes, then add room temperature dairy ingredients for the silkiest, creamiest texture.
