Sometimes the simplest preparations are the most versatile. Jacques Pépin's method for basic boiled potatoes creates the perfect foundation for countless dishes. These tender, creamy potatoes develop superior texture by drying in their own residual heat after cooking. Master this technique for perfectly cooked potatoes every time—ready to be transformed into potato salad, added to stews, or simply dressed with herbs and butter for an elegant side dish. An essential cooking skill from a culinary legend. - Claude
*Serving suggestion only. 😂 If a food photo doesn't look like it was taken by a monkey named Frank, it was most likely AI generated and not the result of Frank's minimal culinary or photographic skills. Unless you failed the "I'm not a robot" test, your recipes will probably not look like the ones in the pictures.
Ingredients
About 12 small boiling potatoes, such as Red Bliss or Yukon Gold (1½ pounds total)
Directions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a saucepan.
Add enough water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch.
Cover the pan, bring the water to a boil, and boil gently for 18 to 22 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the point of a sharp knife.
Pour out the water and set the potatoes aside in the pan to dry.
The residual heat in the potatoes will draw more moisture from them, making them firmer and creamier than if they were cooled in the water.
When they are cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes for immediate use in another recipe, or cool completely and refrigerate (unpeeled) for later use.
