Steaming Fresh New Potatoes for a Fluffy, Delicious Treat
It’s the season for incredibly delicious new potatoes, and they look so wonderfully fluffy! Perfectly seasoned with a delightful, milky-white powdery texture. These potatoes are satisfying enough as a snack or a substantial part of a meal. Enjoy the simple, wholesome goodness!
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes
- Water (enough to cover the potatoes)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp stevia (or 1 tsp sugar)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by peeling the potatoes. Since they are fresh new potatoes, the skins should come off quite easily.
Step 2
Pour fresh water into the pot, ensuring it’s enough to completely submerge the potatoes.
Step 3
Add 1/2 teaspoon of stevia for a touch of sweetness. If you prefer to use sugar, substitute it with 1 teaspoon of sugar. This will add a subtle sweetness that enhances the potatoes’ natural flavor.
Step 4
Add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt for flavor enhancement. Be careful not to add too much; you want a balanced taste.
Step 5
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes steam until they are completely tender.
Step 6
Test for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork or skewer; it should go in easily. If there’s a lot of water remaining in the pot, carefully tilt the pot and drain it off.
Step 7
Once the water has mostly evaporated and the potatoes are tender, gently shake the pot a few times. This action will cause the potatoes to lightly tumble against each other, enhancing their fluffy, powdery texture.
Step 8
Serve the warm, fluffy potatoes on a plate. They are delicious on their own, but for an extra special treat, consider topping them with a sprinkle of cheese powder or a dollop of butter. They’ll be a dish no one can resist!
