How much sodium in Irish potatoes?

When is the best time to add salt when you're cooking?
The best time to add salt while cooking is at each step of the cooking process. If you observe professional chefs on TV, they salt and season at each step, that way the end dish is seasoned throughout and each element is well seasoned. If you make spaghetti and meat balls, for example, you would want to salt the pasta water to season the pasta, you would want to season the meatballs, and then you would want to season the sauce as well. The only deviation from this method I can think of would be if you were adding a milk product to a dish and were concerned about possible curdling. For example, when making stroganoff, I do season the meat and mushrooms, I make the sauce, and then I hold off on the salt and lemon juice (both of which can curdle milk products, as well as heat). I remove the stroganoff from the fire, let it cool down to room temperature, I add in the sour cream, and once it is fully incorporated, then I add the lemon juice and salt.
