If you are a smoker. Do smoke outside and always away from the quitter. Do keep your cigarettes, lighters, and matches out of sight. They might be triggers for your loved one to smoke. Donât ever offer the quitter a smoke or any other form of tobacco, even as a joke! Do join your loved one in their effort to quit.
1 Boil them for about 10 to 15 minutes. 2  As these potatoes do not have to be very soft like the mashed ones, you can test them with a fork after 10 minutes. 3  If they are not soft enough, boil them for 5 more minutes, and then test them. 4  Drain the water and leave them to be cooled.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes until tender. Check at 5 minute intervals because cooking time will vary depending on type, size and quantity of potatoes being cooked.
