Ever wondered why we add salt to the water when boiling potatoes?
It's not just an old family tradition—it actually makes a difference!
🧂 Here's why:
✅ Potatoes absorb a little of the salt as they cook, giving them flavor from the inside out.
✅ You won't need to add as much salt afterwards.
✅ Well-seasoned potatoes make everything taste better, whether you're making mash, potato salad, or serving them alongside a braai.
💡 Bonus Tip: Start your potatoes in cold, salted water and then bring them to a boil. This helps them cook more evenly, so you don't end up with mushy outsides and hard centers.
Sometimes the best kitchen tips are the simple ones passed down through generations.
