Potatoes as well as all root crops need to be cooked starting with cold water a lid on and the stove on medium.
When they come to a boil let that happen for maybe three minuets if even that take off heat and set aside.
This greatly depends on the size of the potato in the kettle.
In a few they will be cooked.
Keep checking and soon you will get the hang of it.
I did not come up with this idea, any good chef will say the same thing.

I honestly think most Americans over cook potatoes.

So, what you are saying is that 3 minutes (plus time to get the water to boil) is enough to cook even a big potato?
