what to do with potatoes that turn to mush when boiling

First boil it in water without removing the skin.

Then after boiling, remove skin and cut/slice/dice as needed.

Mash them!
There is nothing better than a big plate of mashed potato with some red meat.

Pour a litle gravy over or mix in some cheese for extra flavor

you can drain and mash them
Drain - make a potato stuffing like used in Twice Baked Potatoes

Hi, mike devlin!

I agree. Mash them. You can also add some eggs to them later and make potato pancakes out of them, if you would like.

Thanks!

Oh well, I just assumed the OP meant what to do to avoid getting potatoes mushy while boiling.

Potato filled pastries is always an option.

Make creamed potatoes. mash, add the butter, maybe a bit of garilc, salt and pepper.

Hi again, Golden_Girl!

Is there any difference between creamed potatoes and mashed ones, please?

Thanks!
