Brilio.net - Potatoes can be processed into various delicious dishes, both savory and sweet, such as donuts, oseng balado, mashed potatoes, sponge cakes, perkedel, and soup fillings. In addition to its delicious taste, potatoes are also beneficial for health. According to health.ucdavis.edu, potatoes contain carbohydrates, antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, and minerals that are good for heart health, strengthen muscles, protect body cells from damage, and increase immunity.
Due to its nutritional content, many people choose potatoes as an alternative to rice. However, some people avoid potatoes because they are considered to take a long time to boil. According to lovepotatoes.co.uk, potatoes are usually boiled for 20 to 25 minutes to become tender.
However, there is a way to boil potatoes that can be done at home so that the texture is quickly soft and still saves gas. This method was shared by a netizen named Trie through an upload on his personal YouTube.
"Cost-saving, in just a short time, the potatoes are cooked," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Trie Purie on Monday (13/1).
The method is, first prepare water in a pan, then put in all the potatoes that have been washed clean. Turn on the stove with medium heat, then cover the pan. This first boiling process takes 5 minutes until the water is completely boiling. After that, turn off the stove.

After boiling for 5 minutes, the boiled potatoes should be left in the pan that remains covered. The purpose is to continue the cooking process even though the stove is not turned on at all. Wait for the potatoes for 30 minutes.

After being left for 30 minutes, the stove can be turned on again. Well, the second potato boiling process takes 7 minutes. Also, make sure the lid of the pan is not opened or closed to keep the hot steam in the pan. Then, if it has been boiled for 7 minutes, the stove can be turned off and the potatoes can be drained immediately.
