You've eliminated all the prep time plus the potato is far superior tasting than the peel cut and boil method.

but you had to boil it for 15 minutes. Waste of energy and time. Unless you already murder your potatoes that way.

I keep reading this as eight eyeded as in potato eyes.

What energy? The water boils the potato. You want to save 10 minutes on using your range? I can understand that but as far as a waste of time the water is doing all the work I can be doing something else besides peeling and chopping.

If you don't believe it don't try to convince me, try it yourself.
I think arguing with you about how to boil a fucking potato is a bigger waste of time.

Keeping the water boiling for an additional ten minutes requires the burning of additional fuel. It is wasteful and stupid when the end result is exactly the same either way.

that energy. Or perhaps you just need to glance at the pan to get water to boil?....
