peeling potato skin

leave saucepan with lid on

bring it to a boil with stove plate on highest level ↑6/6

then turn on stove plate to ↓1/6 and check in the first minute that you can leave it again with lid on (sometimes at first water boils over a little bit!)

circa 20 minutes later, test with a knife, if potatoes are ready cooked

you can add at the beginning of the boiling procedure a half onion with a few cloves in it

instead of water you can use 50/50 water and white wine
