nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 blew my mind last night!
So, there we are, in the kitchen making dinner. I'm getting ready to boil the potatoes he just cut. Derek tells me I should dump out the water that was in the pot and put new water in - rinsing the starch will prevent a gross over-boil...
🤯🤯🤯
IT. WORKED!!
If y'all didn't know this nifty trick - try it!
(I'm slightly annoyed that I'm 40 and JUST learned this)
Yes, I'm in awe of my husb 💜🤣🧡
Good trick! That being said, potato water (and pasta water too) has nifty uses in making bread and sauces
Chickpea water (aquafaba) is useful too, especially for gluten-free recipes.
I'll have to research
Is that right, Kate?
Tried the mail room?
😉
Another kool trick is not peeling the potatoes. Ya make a single thin cut all the way around the potatoes, boil em, then drain, then pull on either side of the skins to easily remove them! 🤯
I didn’t know this. Cool thanks for sharing!
Also when making homemade french fries, soaking and washing of the starch after cutting the potatoes gives bonus points when frying 🥔 🚿 🍟 👍
