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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. This helps to reduce the potassium content during the leaching process.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the potatoes and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Add the unsalted butter, garlic powder, and black pepper to the potatoes. Gently stir to combine, taking care not to mash the potatoes.
Step 7
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the potatoes. Gently toss to distribute evenly.
Step 8
Serve the potato fixing warm as a side dish. Enjoy a dialysis-friendly twist on a classic comfort food!
