How long does it take for cubed potatoes to cook?

The time it takes to cook cubed potatoes depends on several factors, including:

* Size of the cubes: Smaller cubes cook faster than larger ones.

* Cooking method: Boiling takes less time than roasting or baking.

* Temperature: Higher temperatures mean faster cooking.

* Potato variety: Some varieties cook faster than others.

Here's a general guideline:

* Boiling: 10-15 minutes for small cubes, 15-20 minutes for medium cubes, 20-30 minutes for large cubes.

* Roasting: 30-40 minutes at 400°F (200°C) for small to medium cubes, 45-60 minutes for larger cubes.

* Baking: Similar to roasting, 30-40 minutes at 400°F (200°C) for small to medium cubes, 45-60 minutes for larger cubes.

To test if the potatoes are cooked:

* Boiling: Pierce a potato with a fork. It should easily go through and the potato should be tender.

* Roasting/Baking: The potatoes should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.

Tips for faster cooking:

* Cut potatoes into smaller cubes.

* Soak potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking.

* Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.

Remember: These are just general guidelines. It's always best to check the potatoes for doneness to ensure they are cooked to your liking.
