Cooking process
Cooked potatoes in a uniform are used in a huge number of dishes! This is one of the recipes that every beginner has to learn. For those old kitchen wolves who have not thought about how to cook potatoes in their uniform for a couple of decades, I will not say anything new. Those lines that I write, I address, it can be said, myself – young. Well, and all those who are now frantically looking on the Internet, how many boil potatoes in uniform.
My dear, I, unfortunately, can not give you the exact answer to this burning question. Just because it does not exist. But at least I will explain what you need to pay attention to, that the potato was cooked without problems, it did not crack and did not remain firm inside.
Are you still interested in how to cook this bloody potatoes in these damned uniforms? Well, then read on. I will be explaining many words, but, I hope, it is understandable. I will explain everything that, unfortunately, no one explained to me, but it’s great to make life easier for a beginner culinary!
How much to cook potatoes in a uniform depends on a lot of factors, starting from the potato variety and ending with in what conditions and how long it was stored. I’m not telling you about the stove and the pan! But the most important is the size of the potatoes.
Look at this photo, where I sorted out the contents of one bag of potatoes. I think it’s absolutely obvious that the biggest ones are about twice as small as the smallest potatoes. So, to weld them together in no case is not necessary. Because with the same time cooking or small crack, or large will not be ready. Before the beginning of cooking, they must be sorted, and boil potatoes of approximately the same caliber. I’m here taking a small – half a half-kilogram bag. If you have dirty potatoes, you should wash them before starting the cooking.
Potatoes should be placed in a saucepan as evenly as possible. Pour the water so that the potato was completely covered with it, and the water did not stand level with the edge of the pan. Because otherwise the water will spill out during boiling.
Potatoes in uniforms are boiled under the lid. Without a lid, it will boil longer, and cook. When to salt potatoes in a uniform? You know, under some recipes (for everything under which it is scratched or pushed through the press), it is not necessary to salt it at all. For salads or fried potatoes – you need. Salt the potatoes after boiling. Why is it salted? First, for the taste, and secondly, that it does not boil. Salted potatoes are more dense.
Now about the approximate time of cooking potatoes in a uniform.
Here these here small, in one layer, long somewhere with a little finger and a little more, from easily boiled variety I cook 25 minutes after boiling on medium heat. Would be in two layers – the total cooking time would increase, because such a quantity of water would have boiled longer, is it logical? But from the moment of boiling, I would cook them the same 25 minutes.
There would be large potatoes, not small ones – I would cook them up to 50 minutes from the moment of boiling.
If it were not boiled, it would have to be cooked longer than it would be boiled.
That’s why it is impossible to say exactly how much to cook potatoes in uniform. It depends on the potatoes. And even from the pot and from the stove. With your potatoes, pots and stove, you really have to deal with yourself, and do not listen to me with my “25 minutes for petty”!
But then how do you know that the potato is ready? She’s pierced with a knife. Must be a knife with a sharp tip, and not with a rounded tip. And for this sample, choose the largest potatoes. The knife should be poked deeply, this way to the middle (especially important for very large potatoes), and it must enter the boiled potatoes gently, smoothly, without tension. If the large potatoes are soft inside, then all the potatoes are ready.
After the end of boiling potatoes in uniform should be allowed to stand in hot water, but without boiling, somewhere five to ten minutes. After that it is easier to clean.
After draining the water, the potato, too, should ideally be allowed to stand and cool, so that it can be taken in hand without burning. Cool potatoes can and half an hour. If you do not have that much time, coat it with cold water.
There are recipes under which potatoes in uniforms are needed immediately after cooking, very hot, not chilled. In this case, it is convenient to clean it, nocking on the fork.
I hope I managed to help you figure out how to cook potatoes in a uniform …
