Notes
There are two methods to cook potatoes. The first method involves peeling and dicing the potatoes, then boiling them in salted water until they are almost fork-tender. Once cooked, drain the water and cool the potatoes until they are just warm. Alternatively, you can boil the potatoes with their skins on, then wait until they are cool enough to handle before peeling and chopping them. You can choose to dice the potatoes into small or large pieces, depending on your preference, but it’s essential to ensure that they are cut into uniform sizes.
