Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma found that new potatoes cook very quickly when they are cut into quarters before boiling. Since there's a risk of overcooking them, which causes them to fall apart in the casserole, she checked them frequently-they were usually tender in about 5 minutes.
