Boiled Potatoes - Allergy Free CookBook

Boiled potatoes are a typical side dish for meats such as roast and steak. Sometimes, boiled potatoes are kept almost raw. Other times, they are almost soft enough to turn into mashed potatoes or potato soup. A potato soup recipe is included below. Fresh from the garden potatoes are sometimes boiled whole. This is especially true of red potatoes, which are rarely peeled or sliced. Sometimes, onions are added to boiled potatoes. One recipe calls for boiling potatoes in a frying pan with onions. Fry boiled potatoes with onions have an interesting taste and texture. Herbs add flavor, as well.
