Any Q

As long as the potatoes are still mostly firm, they're fine to cook. Potatoes are 80 percent water, so softness is usually just a sign of dehydration. But if they're extremely mushy or shriveled, do not pass go. 25 мая 2022 г.


Is it OK if potatoes are a little soft?

A: Yes, it's OK to bake or boil slightly soft potatoes. I am assuming they don't have large sprouts (if you can knock off the sprouts with your finger or a brush that's fine too). Potatoes are 80% water on average, so some of that moisture drying up is natural.

How do you tell if potatoes are undercooked?

You can easily tell if potatoes are undercooked by using the fork method. Simply stick the tines of your fork into your cooked potato. If the fork is able to pass through the flesh of the potato smoothly, you can rest assured that it has been cooked properly.
