The method is straightforward, and you will be surprised by the results. First, you peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces or bite-size pieces. This is the trick! You do need to soak before boiling the potatoes. Boiling will remove the extra starch from the potatoes.

The third step is to use a good brand of butter. That’s all you need. Seriously!
