"Mushy Potatoes" - anyone know why?
Rachel Aitch wrote:
Hi Folks, Quick question: one of my clients (I'm a professional gardener, but don't hold that against me) asked me why his entire potato crop, of various types, turned to mush as soon as they were put into boiling water. I have no idea!! Desperate to preserve my reputation, I turn to you (picture me with hands out, pleading) for suggestion... Rachel Aitch If this a genuine 'Quick' question and not a 'Trick' question the answer is obvious. Your client cannot cook ! You do not put potatoes into boiling water ,you put them into cold water and bring up to the boil. I'm a bloke and even I know that. I suggest you ask him to bring a few round then peel and boil them yourself. |
