Helpful hints

  • Double the garlic for a stronger garlic flavor.
  • Potatoes are very high in potassium but you can remove part of the potassium by using the double boil method:
    • Double boil method: Peel and small dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Drain the water and add fresh water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes then drain and prepare as desired.
  • Boiled potatoes can be frozen in batches.
  • *Potassium content taken from reference values for double-boiling small peeled and diced potatoes.
