Potatoes can be cooked by boiling them in water for 15-20 minutes. Methods to judge whether potatoes are ripe in actual operation:

1. Look at the color

When potatoes are ripe, they will become translucent and there will be no white inside.

2. Look at the shape

If the potato shreds become curved and soft, it means the potato shreds are cooked.

3. Break the pot with a spatula

The easiest way to know if the potato shreds are cooked is to use a spatula to gently press the potato shreds to see if they are easy to shred. When the potato is broken, it is easy to break the potato to prove it is cooked.

Notes on boiling potatoes

For potatoes, if you want to cook them and eat them, if we use an ordinary pot to cook potatoes, generally speaking, they need to be cooked over high heat. Three to five minutes will do.

If we choose to use an ordinary pot to cook four or five medium-sized potatoes, it will take fifteen to twenty minutes. And in this process, we need to boil the water over high heat first, and then change to low heat and simmer slowly.
