Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Depending on how much time she had for cooking, Grandma had various ways of cooking the potatoes. Sometimes she boiled them whole, which took about 35 minutes for fist-size potatoes. Sometimes she chopped them to boil them, which reduced the cooking time to about 8 minutes. Sometimes, for what she said was the fluffiest result, she baked the potatoes for 50 minutes, then cooled and peeled them.
