- Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them into 1 cm slices. approximately, and bring them to a boil in the pot with the fish stock. Add a pinch of salt, and cook the potatoes until tender.
- Cooking can take about 20-25 minutes. While they cook, you will see that they may need broth, so add it from the broth you reserved before.
