Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 8 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. This helps to reduce the potassium content during the leaching process.
Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl of warm water. Allow the potatoes to soak for at least 4 hours, or overnight for maximum potassium removal. Change the water once during the soaking process if soaking overnight.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add the soaked potato cubes to the boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes completely and return them to the pot. Place the pot back on the burner over low heat for about 1 minute to allow any excess water to evaporate.
Add the unsalted butter, garlic powder, and black pepper to the potatoes. Gently stir to combine, taking care not to mash the potatoes.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the potatoes. Gently toss to distribute evenly.
Serve the potato fixing warm as a side dish. Enjoy a dialysis-friendly twist on a classic comfort food!
