To prevent potatoes from falling apart when cooking

For young housewives, there are some useful tips to help keep the potatoes whole after a long boil.

At first, choose a non-boiling potato variety.

Secondly, it is important to take all tubers of approximately the same size to avoid damp residues.

Third tip consists in tracking the fire during the boiling period. It is important to lower the temperature as soon as you see the first signs of boiling water. The saucepan should be on low heat under a slightly covered lid for about 15 minutes, and then every 3-4 minutes you check the readiness with a fork. As soon as the prongs enter freely, remove the potatoes from the stove.

If you are boiling potatoes in cubes, do not stir them during cooking, breaking the integrity of the cubes or whole potatoes. The fire should be minimal, and the pan is only slightly covered with a lid.
