boiled_potatoes vegetable:1 meat:0 yield (meals * people):1 prep.:5 cook:30 recipe source:combination 1 # potatoes -Scrub the potatoes and cut off the bad parts -Put them in a pot (pasta pro preferred) with water almost covering them -Boil rapidly on maximum heat, then simmer for ~20 min on lower heat but keep them boiling rapidly -If they're soft when poked with a fork, they're done; otherwise, keep boiling -Drain -Turn heat to low and put them back on, with the lid of the pot, for ~5 minutes. This isn't strictly necessary but apparently makes them taste better.
