  • Lafer discourages boiling potatoes in water for many dishes because aromas and nutrients are lost, but cooks salt-boiled potatoes in salted water.

  • For mashed potatoes, Lafer recommends steaming them over simmering water without direct water contact.

  • According to 7hauben.com, Lafer bakes skin-on potatoes at about 160°C for 45 to 60 minutes on a bed of salt.

  • Before cooking, potatoes should be peeled immediately rather than stored in cold water after peeling.
