  • 1
    Peel and slice your potatoes in pot your going to boil them in. Add salt. Make sure you keep potatoes under water or they will turn black. I slice my potatoes with a mandolin. If you like your potatoes to stay firm add a teaspoon of vinegar to the water you boil in and they will stay firm. Learned that from Chef Emiril Lagasse. boil for 7 minutes and drain.
