Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Deanna, Why do you recommend cooking the potatoes seperately? Is it because of the starch content of the water after cooking the potatoes?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Denise, Yes, it is because of the taste and texture . If you make a cream sauce you would use butter,flour and milk/cream. You would never dilute it with starchy water. Same goes for Cream of Potato Soup , " organic_homestead " <organic_homestead> wrote: > > Deanna, > Why do you recommend cooking the potatoes seperately?
