3 things to keep in mind when Boiling Potatoes.

1/ If you have a variety of potatoes to choose from, choose potatoes that can handle the boiling temperature and still keep its shape.

2/ Although it will take 15-25 minutes for the whole Potato to become tender make sure to check if it is done after 10 minutes as smaller ones can cook faster than larger ones.

3/ Do not add the Potatoes to boiling water but place them in cold water and let them cook as the temperature rises.
