You can decide to even leave the skins on, boil them whole and chop them into cubes skins and all there isn't a set rule here.

Versatile Boiled Potatoes

As I mentioned previously, I boil a whole 10-pound bag of potatoes and then pick a cooking method and topping for the night, they are perfect reheated and the boiling keeps them moist inside and crunchy on the outside!

They're a perfect solution for a busy cook's weeknight side dish.

We love using different topping suggestions during the week to repurpose leftovers for instance topping with leftover chili, stir fry, or roasted vegetables turns the potatoes into a whole meal.
