FAQ
How do I check if the potatoes are cooked through to the center?
After the water boils, cook them over medium heat; when a toothpick slides smoothly all the way through, they are fully cooked.
What can I substitute if I don't have butter?
You can drizzle regular cooking oil such as olive oil, grapeseed oil, or corn oil into the pan and roast them.
When is it easiest to peel the potato skins?
The skins come off much more easily if you peel them while the boiled potatoes are still warm.
What powdered toppings go well once finished?
It is great to sprinkle parsley flakes or Parmesan cheese powder evenly over them according to your taste.
