Question

Best way to boil Idaho® Potatoes

What is the best way to boil potatoes when making potato salad?

Answer

Peel and cut the potatoes into large chunks and they will cook faster in boiling water without breaking down. When you cook the potato whole it often means that the outside will be mushy while the center is not quite done.
