Boiled new potatoes. Use 150-200 g per person. Place in a saucepan, and pour just-boiled water on top to well cover them. (I always tip a bit of salt in, but I think it's just superstition on my part.) Apply max heat with your gas hob to bring back to a boil, then put a lid on, and simmer on min heat for 20-25 minutes. Test for doneness by eye (if the skin has broken, they're probably done - possibly even slightly overdone, but it won't be a huge problem) and fork (when done, the fork will easily go in, with consistent minimal resistance, but actually they're typically ok to eat after 25 minutes even if they don't quite pass the fork test). Serve immediately. Or allow to cool and eat later. Or then put in the fridge once cooled and eat cold even later. But whatever you do, don't add anything else (salt, butter, other seasoning, etc.) until you've eaten at least one without.
