   Peel and wash the potatoes. It is better to place peeled potatoes in cold water to prevent them from darkening. Make sure that it does not remain in it for very long, as this will cause the potato flesh to become coarser and lose some starch. If desired, the potatoes can be cut into cubes or slices. I cooked it whole.

5. STEP 5

   

   When the water boils again, reduce the heat. Cook the potatoes covered for 15-20 minutes until tender. The finished potatoes should be easily pierced with a knife. At the end of cooking, salt the potatoes.

6. STEP 6

Boiled potatoes as a side dish for cutlets. The boiling with the addition of dill and bay leaf became unusual. I took a small bay leaf because I was afraid that the potatoes would taste bitter. I didn’t have fresh dill, I used dried. Fresh, of course, would be preferable. Nevertheless, the potatoes turned out more tasty and aromatic than if they were simply boiled in water. Butter always goes well with potatoes in any form; it gives a delicate creamy taste. The side dish was a hit) Everyone was delighted. I liked it simply with homemade ketchup. Previously, I didn’t really like boiled potatoes precisely because of the taste. Now there will be no problems with this. I think you can add something else for flavoring, such as onion, garlic, parsley. Thank you for the idea!

As the author of the recipe noted, this dish takes us back to childhood. I have homemade potatoes, I boil them for 20 minutes from the moment they boil. I didn’t add any greens during cooking; I decided to sprinkle it on the finished dish. But adding a bay leaf was a real discovery for me. The potatoes turned out incredibly tasty and aromatic.
