Easy Skin On Boiled Potato (Vegan, Gluten Free)

This skin-on boiled white potato recipe is simple and easy. Each serving contains around 100 calories. Here are the instructions for the stove, instant pot, and microwave.

These boiled potatoes are so versatile. If you keep a batch of these in your fridge, you can whip up a quick potato side dish in just a couple of minutes. 

I like to slice cooked potatoes and sprinkle them with a bit of seasoning and make fries in my air fryer.  I make fries for my son, while my daughter loves mash.  So I’ll mash some of these potatoes with some plant-based milk and plant-based butter and warm it up on the stove. 

Having cooked potatoes in the fridge at all times is a winner for our whole family.

You can either cook white potatoes with the skins on or off. Here’s a quick way to remove the skins without getting out your peeler.  Just score a ring around the outside of the potato with a knife.  When the potato is cooked, it’s much quicker to just pull off the skin.  You can watch my video for a demonstration.
