How do I boil potatoes for Spicy Peanut Potatoes – Aloo Moongphali Sabzi?

First rinse and peel the potatoes. Then chop them into 3-to-4-inch cubes. Keep the potatoes large so they maintain shape. Second boil them.

I used an instant pot. I put 3 cups water and added the potatoes on the trivet. Additionally, I cooked the potatoes on manual/high pressure mode for 5 minutes and quick released the pressure. You can also boil the potatoes in a pot on the stove top. If cooking in a pot, transfer the potatoes to a pot. Cover the potatoes with an inch or two of cold water. Starting the potatoes in cold water helps them cook more evenly. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a bare simmer. Do not cover. Check the potatoes in 5 minutes. The potatoes need to be tender. The potatoes should be ready in under 10 minutes.
