The Best Way to cook potatoes
Hey there! Let's talk about making amazing potatoes. There are three super easy ways that always work great:
- Baked Potatoes: Wash the potato, poke holes with a fork, rub with oil and salt, then bake at 425°F for about an hour. You'll know it's done when you can easily stick a fork through it.
- Mashed Potatoes: Cut potatoes into chunks, boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes until super soft. Drain, then mash with butter and milk. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Roasted Potatoes: Cut into chunks, toss with oil and seasonings, spread on a baking sheet, and roast at 400°F for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
Pro Tip: Russet potatoes are best for baking and mashing, while Yukon Gold potatoes are awesome for roasting!
