  1. 1

    Gently scrub and rinse the potatoes to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Add the potatoes and 2 teaspoons of salt into a pot and then fill it with cold water so the potatoes are submerged 1 ½ inches below the water level.

  3. 3

    Bring the water to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook the cubed potatoes for 8-12 minutes. Begin checking for doneness after about 6 minutes, and continue checking every minute or so until potatoes are cooked through and fork-tender.

  5. 5

    Drain the cooked potatoes into a colander, run them under cold water, or immerse them in an ice bath to halt the cooking process.

  6. 6

    Proceed with your favorite potato salad recipe.
