Steps:
- Peel potatoes; cut into 2-inch pieces. Bring potatoes, 2 tsp. salt and water to cover to a boil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; boil 20 minutes or until tender. Drain, return potatoes to Dutch oven, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally. 3 to 5 minutes or until potatoes are dry.
