Add the potatoes to the boiling water. Blanch the potatoes for three to five minutes according to size -- three minutes for small potatoes and up to five minutes for large potatoes. Drain the potatoes and place them in the bowl of ice water. Let the potatoes sit until they're cool enough to handle, about 30 seconds, then remove.
Directions. Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill to cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, add the salt, and turn the heat down to a simmer. Continue simmering until the potatoes are just fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain immediately and let steam, covered with a dishcloth, in a colander until completely tender and a fork can easily pierce the potato, about 15 minutes more. Let cool.
