Notes

if you use baby potatoes you don't need to peel them
If you are using larges new potatoes, peel them after they are cooked
If you are boiling the potatoes let them boil for 14 minutes the baby potatoes and 20 minutes the large potatoes.
To find out when the potatoes are ready you can pierce them with a knife and if it goes through without any problem, they are ready.
