Do you boil potatoes in cold water or hot water?

2 Answers

Potatoes should be boiled in boiling water. To find out if your water is boiling check the temperature, it should be at 212 degrees. If you don’t have a thermometer, then check for steam and lots of bubbles in your water.

Cold for 2 reasons: potatoes cook evenly inside and out. Hot water from the tap should never be used for cooking or drinking
