Parsley potato is one of the easiest boiled potato recipes that is quick, fast and easy. It’s also a delicious recipe that goes well with many main dishes such as baked cod.
How To Boil Potatoes
To boil potatoes, you need a tall stockpot, water and salt. Fill the stockpot half way with water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring the water to a rolling boil. In the meantime, rinse and scrub the potatoes so the surface is clean. Keep the skin on. Do not peel the potato skin. Drop the potatoes into the hot boiling water, cover the lid of the stockpot to cook the potatoes.
How Long To Boil Potatoes
It takes 15 minutes to boil baby potatoes or smaller new potaotes. If you cut regular-sized or big potatoes into quarters, it will take about 20 to 25 minutes. For whole potatoes that are big, it will take at least 30-35 minutes to completely cook the potatoes in the center. Use a fork and poke it to the center to check doneness.
