When I boil baby potatoes I usually throw a couple cheap ass bullion cubes in the water.

I don't think it changes anything but I feel weird not doing it.

yes dump a heap of salt in the water

[the_boar No.10656272]

I have done it both ways and there is absolutely no perceivable difference. Don't waste your salt mate.

don't spread disinfo

my gf made a huge pot of pasta without salting the water and it was noticeably bland. Unsalted pasta water makes pasta that is almost tasteless.

Pasta and potatoes are completely different... You do realize that right? Of course you season the water with pasta.

Anon I usually salt the water and I've been taught that, potatoes can absorb some amount of salt so salting the water does change the taste of potato, it makes it better cause the salt is absorbed deep inside which makes it better than sprinkling the salt.

Well you'll have to use approx 4 tablespoons of salt for a litre but I usually use 6 :3

In our local cuisine if the food is over-salted, we use potatoes to neutralise it, it does work cause it absorbs salt. Anyway man good luck I hope this helps you.

[Anonymous No.10656595]

of course you salt it retard

Is it though?

[Anonymous No.10656618]

Pasta is very thin and absorbs the salt water. Potatoes are super thick and are usually cooked with the peel on. So unless you have smaller potatoes salt in the water really doesn't add anything. When I do cut my potatoes in slices and then cook them so it cooks faster I do salt it though

[Anonymous No.10656627]

>>10656615
Yeah, it does absorb it, you can try it for yourself :)

It's mostly salt.

Even Knorr's list starts with salt. Cubes are shit. Wet pastes are better. Homemade is the only good way.

>>10656627
if you cut them sure

but a whole potato? you don't understand surface area very well do you?

[Anonymous No.10656669]

>>10656660
Oh nvm I cut them before boiling them, it won't be of much use if you boil them whole.

I don't know why but my mum always told me to not put salt into the water if you boil unpeeled potatoes. If they are peeled though you salt them.
