Cooking Tips
🥔 Potatoes
- Start potatoes in cold water when boiling for even cooking.
- Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes for crispier fries.
- Prick potatoes with a fork before baking to let steam escape.
Nutrition: High in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber (with skin). A medium potato has about 160 calories.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place for 2-3 weeks. Don't refrigerate raw potatoes.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
