- Potatoes will cook faster if you add a little margarine or butter to the water.
- To make the potatoes especially tasty, place a clove of garlic, bay leaf, or a sprig of dill in a saucepan.
- Pour the broth (or water) to the top level of the potatoes and make sure that the liquid does not boil away.
- Some varieties of potatoes are very soft, even if cooked over low heat. This will not happen if you put a few slices of pickled cucumber in the pot next to the potatoes. Then the potato slices will remain intact and will not lose nutrients.

Step by step cooking boiled potatoes in meat broth, recipe with photo:
1. Wash potatoes from dirt, peel and wash again under running cold water. Be sure to cut out the "eyes", they contain a high concentration of harmful substances.
2. Cut the potatoes into medium-sized cubes.
3. Place the potatoes in a cooking pot and add the bay leaf.
4. Pour the broth over the tubers until they are completely covered. Then salt: about 0.5 tbsp. for 1 liter of water. If you want the potatoes to be crumbly, pour hot broth over them and simmer under the lid. Although it is better to always fill it with hot liquid, or even better with boiling water. If you use cold water, about 25% of vitamin C is lost, and if you pour boiling water, only 6% is lost.
5. Place the potatoes on the stove and bring to a boil.
6. Close the pan with a lid, after boiling, turn the heat to the minimum setting and cook the potatoes in meat broth for 15-20 minutes until tender and soft. If you cook it over high heat, the potatoes will remain raw on the inside and will be digested on the outside.
Serve ready-made potatoes in this form with any side dish, or chop them in mashed potatoes, which are much healthier than boiled potatoes cut into slices.
