Tired of Mushy, Boring Potatoes?
Let’s change that. Whether you love them creamy, crispy, or packed with flavor, there’s a better way to cook your potatoes. Ditch the bland boil and try these game-changing methods that bring out the best in every bite.
1. Steam Them
Why: Steaming keeps the flavor in and prevents nutrients from leaching out.
How:
Cut potatoes into even pieces (or leave small ones whole).
Place in a steamer basket over simmering water. Cover and steam for 15–20 minutes, until fork-tender.
Great for: mashed potatoes, potato salads, casseroles.
2. Microwave Them
Why: Quick, easy, and retains moisture.
How:
Wash and prick whole potatoes with a fork.
Microwave on high for 5–8 minutes, turning halfway through.
Great for: fast baked potatoes or smashed potatoes.
