Tip: To speed up the cooking process, microwave or boil the potatoes first, as below.
To boil potatoes:
Scrub or peel potatoes as required. Slice in half or even-sized chunks.
Place in a heavy-based saucepan and cover with cold water. Place a lid on the saucepan.
Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain.
The length of cooking time depends on the size of the pieces of potato.
