1 Pour 2 cups of water into a sufuria and turn on heat. Peel potatoes, wash and chop into smaller sizes. By now the water in the sufuria should be boiling. Add half a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper into the water and then add the potatoes into the boiling water. Let the potatoes cook for atleast 10 minutes until slightly soft but not cooked. Turn off heat,remove the potatoes from the hot water. Set aside the potato water for later use.
