Add diced potatoes to a saucepan with chicken or vegetable broth (or cream) just enough to cover them.
Simmer until tender, then mash for ultra-flavorful mashed potatoes or use in soups.
5. Air Fry Them
Why It Works : Air frying gives potatoes a crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.
How to Do It :
Toss diced or sliced potatoes with oil and seasonings.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Ideal for crispy home fries or bite-sized snacks.
Bonus Tip: Salt Early, Not Late
If you’re determined to boil potatoes (we won’t judge!), at least do it right:
Use salted water —and we mean heavily salted , like the sea. This helps season the potatoes from the inside out.
Cook them whole or in large chunks to minimize water absorption.
