Preparation
- 1
Peel and Cut the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks (about 1.5 inches). This ensures they cook evenly.

Boil the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to medium-low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
