Cut the potatoes into a 25mm (1") dice and place them in a 20cm or 8" saucepan.
Add the salt and pour over enough cold water to cover them by 3-4cm (1½"). Turn on the heat, bring them to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cook them for 5-7 minutes, drain and allow them to steam dry for 3-4 minutes.
If you are using an induction hob, you may need to boil the potatoes for 3-4 minutes longer because they will come to a boil fairly quickly.
