To boil a potato effectively for the best results, start by peeling and cutting the potato into evenly sized pieces. Place the potato pieces in a pot of cold, salted water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, usually around 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them sit for a few minutes to dry out before mashing or using in your desired recipe.
