Do different methods of cooking potatoes produce a different taste?
Yes, for example some people make their mashed potatoes from baked potatoes hollowing out the cooked insides and they get a very dry almost roasted flavor. Boiling steams the potato and some of the nutrients are lost, especially if boiled whole. We suggest cutting into large chunks then boil. Microwaving keeps a lot of the moisture in the potato which can yield less potato flavor.
