Notes

  • If you have to cook the potatoes, start by putting them in a large pot or pan, ensuring they're fully covered in salted, cold water. Allow the water to reach a rolling boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. The potatoes are ready when a fork can smoothly pierce through them without resistance. The boiling time for potatoes can vary depending on their size and type. Typically, medium-sized potatoes take about 15 to 20 minutes after the water starts boiling. However, if you're using larger potatoes, they might need 25 to 30 minutes.
