We'll start by washing a potato under cold tap water.
我们先用冷水洗一个土豆。
Then we'll fill a pot with water. It can be cold or hot water.
然后我们把一个锅装满水。可以是冷水也可以是热水。
Turn on the stove, place the pot on the burner, then put the potato inside the pot.
打开炉子,把锅放在炉子上,然后把土豆放进锅里。
Putting a lid on the pot will make the water boil more quickly.
在锅上盖上盖子会使水开得更快。
Once that's boiling, you can reduce the temperature a little bit.
煮沸后,火可以稍微开小点。
You'll want to let it cook for between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on how thick your potato is.
烤10到20分钟,这取决于你的土豆有多厚。
You can check it every now and then with a fork. Once it's tender all the way through, it's done. That's not quite done yet.
你可以时不时用叉子检查一下。等它变软了,就大功告成了。这还没有完全完成。
If too much water boils off you can add more hot water.
如果太多的水被煮掉了,你可以加更多的热水。
We'll just check it again here... Seems like it still needs a few more minutes.
我们在这里再检查一下……看来还需要几分钟。
It's been around 15 minutes now, so I'm gonna test it again. And that feels pretty tender.
大概15分钟了,我们来检测一下,现在感觉更软了。
So I'm going to place it on a plate, and turn off the stove.
我要把它放在盘子上,关掉炉子。
Then you can cut it open. Sprinkle on some salt, a little bit of butter, and some pepper.
然后你就可以把它切开了。撒上一些盐,一点黄油和一些胡椒粉。
And that's all there is to making a potato.
这就是制作土豆的全部内容。
