Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start boiling potatoes and carrots, gather the necessary ingredients:

  • 3-4 potatoes

Prepare the Potatoes and Carrots

Clean the potatoes and carrots thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. You can choose to peel the vegetables or leave the skins on for extra nutrients and texture. If peeling, use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife to remove the skin.

Once clean, chop the potatoes and carrots into bite-sized chunks, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
