If the potatoes are the same size, it is better to steam them whole and not peel them before cooking - the same size will ensure that all potatoes are ready at the same time, and the peeling time will be reduced to a couple of minutes. In addition, steaming potatoes saves more vitamins in their skins.If the potatoes are of different sizes, and even more so, they should be cooked in slices: after peeling, cut the potatoes into equal slices or circles of the same thickness. Keep in mind that sliced potatoes are stored worse than whole ones, so you should cook steamed potatoes for 1-2 meals.
It is better to salt and pepper the steamed potatoes after cooking, before serving: salt, pepper and stir in the potatoes. Or, if the potatoes are very tender and fall apart while stirring, you can melt the butter and stir the salt and pepper in it - and pour over the dish with this oil when serving. You can also cut greens on top before serving. If time is running out, then sacrifice a little taste: sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper before cooking (try evenly), as well as dried seasonings.
