Instructions

Step 1:

Add water to a large pot and let it come to a boil over high heat. While waiting for the water to boil, peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 2:

Once it’s boiling, add salt, baking soda, and potatoes. Cook for about 7 minutes. Strain them in a colander and allow them to cool for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3:
