Cooking: think you know how to boil a potato?

I thought it was interesting that they have different instructions for boiling new and old potatos, and I think the step at the end really makes a difference - I made some tonight and they came out nice and fluffy!

(From http://www.all-about-cooking.com/potato/new_potatoes.html)

 

When cooking new potatoes try to match them in size as much as possible. They are delicate little things and do not take too kindly to over-cooking.
