Cooking Tips from Betsy's Basics: Potatoes & Rice

1. Mash potatoes while hot. If cooled before mashing they will become gummy.
2. If potatoes are boiled about 5 min., then put into a hot oven to bake. Tehy will be thoroughly done in about half the time.
3. Cook rice in broth instead of plain water.
4. Add vinaigrette-type salad dressing to potatoes for potato salad while they're still hot--they will absorb more of the dressing.
