Batatinhas cozidas

Ingredientes

• 1.5 lbs potatoes (small)
• Water ((enough to cover the potatoes in the pot))
• Salt (to taste)
• Butter (for serving, optional)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Wash the small potatoes in a colander under cold running water. No need to peel them – their skin is thin and edible.

2. 2

   Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt to taste.

3. 3

   Carefully place the small potatoes into the boiling water.

4. 4

   Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Check by piercing the thickest potato with a fork – it should pierce easily.

5. 5

   Once done, turn off the heat and remove the potatoes. You can strain them using a colander or use a slotted spoon to take them out of the water.

6. 6

   Serve the potatoes as is, or add some butter while they’re hot to melt over the potatoes. You can also add extra seasonings to taste.
