Boiled Potatoes Yes, this is really a recipe for boiled potatoes. My family all laughed at me, but I said not everyone knows how to boil potatoes. So here it goes. Start with at least one potato per person. If you want to have extra for leftovers, make it at least two per person, and if Ellen is eating with you, even that is no guarantee you'll have any left. Peel potatoes (get the kids to help) and cut into about 1 inch cubes. Put in a pan and cover with enough water to cover, add a little salt, and turn on high. Cook until boiling. Then turn it down and let it cook for about 20-30 minutes. Test for doneness by poking with a fork. Your potato should be firm, not mushy, not hard. You can always taste it to check. Your potatoes are done! Drain the potatoes (save the liquid - I'll tell you why next time) and serve. If you can boil potatoes, you can also make potato salad and mashed potatoes from scratch. Potato Salad I don't like the German kind, with vinegar. I like the kind...
