Does anybody use the vegetable steamer to steam potatoes? How should I season them, and approx. how long will they take to steam? Can I add carrots or turnip to the steamer at the same time?

I steam potatoes frequently. It's an especially good method for preparing "new" potatoes, which are about the size of golf balls, but you can cut up larger potatoes into serving-sized pieces, too.C.Whalen said:Does anybody use the vegetable steamer to steam potatoes?

Katie E said:My electric rice cooker has a steamer insert which I use to steam potatoes, especially for potato salad. When the potatoes are cooked this way for potato salad, the potatoes don't take on unnecessary additional moisture that can water down the salad. I also have more control over the degree of doneness of the potatoes.
