The technique for boiling potatoes will differ greatly depending on what dish we plan to cook next..
For example, this ingredient is often included in salads..
The component can be found in potato salad, Olivier, vinaigrette and a number of others, reminds our magazine’s cooking expert, chef Yulia Arkhipova.
When preparing potatoes for salad, it is extremely important that they maintain integrity and remain firm. To do this, boil the potatoes directly in their skins. But this is not the only condition.
What should be added to the pan when cooking?
Vinegar
Many people know that this liquid helps potatoes maintain their texture. In this case, they will not fall apart in salads into crumbs.
For each liter of water, take a large spoonful of vinegar.
Lemon or lemon juice
The action scheme of this component is the same, but it is chosen more often because of its naturalness. For each liter of water, you can add a slice of fruit or a large spoon of juice to the pan.
The ingredient can also be replaced with citric acid: a small spoon will be quite enough.
