How long to cook jacket potatoes: chefs' tips

For cooking you only need water, tubers and salt. There are no clear cooking regulations. The process takes from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the number and size of potatoes. Cooking can be divided into five stages.

1. Preparation. Select potatoes of the same size. Rinse thoroughly under running water. Rub dirty tubers with a soft brush or foam sponge. Make sure that the peel is not damaged.
2. Water. The volume of cooking liquid depends on the number of tubers. In any case, the water should completely cover the vegetables. If the liquid boils away during cooking, add hot water.
3. Time. On average, boil potatoes in their skins after boiling water for 20 minutes. After 15 minutes, you can check the readiness by piercing the peel with a fork. If the teeth fit well into the tuber, it’s time to remove the pan from the heat and drain the water. Hard potatoes should be left for another 15-20 minutes.
4. Salt. It is recommended to salt the water ten minutes after the start of cooking. The spice will give the dish a salty taste and prevent the peel from cracking. One teaspoon per liter of liquid is enough.
5. Cooling. If you need potatoes for a salad, it is better to pour cold water over the tubers after cooking. This will make it easier to remove the “uniform” and maintain the dense structure of the pulp.

Discard greenish potatoes. This color indicates that the tubers were not stored correctly (in the light), and solanine, a toxic substance, has accumulated in the peel. These potatoes are not suitable for boiling in their jackets. It is better to clean the tubers by cutting off the green parts and cook them in the usual way.

Temporary nuances

For cooking, it is better to choose young potatoes, but not all seasons allow this. “Adult” root vegetables (large, small) are just as suitable for boiling in their uniforms. However, when cooking, you should take into account several nuances related to the size and “age” of vegetables.

• Old potatoes. It is not recommended to cook old, caked potatoes in their jackets. Rotten, “big-eyed” tubers should be excluded. If the appearance is quite satisfactory, then in 25-30 minutes the potatoes will be ready.
• New potatoes. Ideal for cooking with the skin on. Boil medium-sized young potatoes in their skins for 15-20 minutes. Young tubers can be eaten without removing the skin.
• Size. The larger the potatoes, the longer it will take to cook. On average, 25 minutes is enough to cook large potatoes in their jackets.

It is better to cook varieties with low or medium levels of starch in their skins. As a rule, these are yellow and red tubers with dense pulp.
