Instructions
- 1
Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold salted water by 1 inch, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 15–18 minutes. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
- 2
Spread the drained potatoes in the pot and set over low heat for 1–2 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until any surface moisture has evaporated and the potatoes look dry and floury. Remove from heat.
