Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma said that cutting the potatoes into quarters cut down on the cooking time. If she had smaller new potatoes on hand, she left them whole or cut them in half. But if she was in a real hurry, she cut them into quarters also, making small morsels that cooked in just 20 to 25 minutes.
