You and your wife might want to try experimenting by cooking them both ways to see which takes longer and if there is any taste difference. I suspect not on the last part but please let me know.

She claims that to boil the spuds you must cube them to 1/2 inch size. I say just cut medium potato into half and salt water a bit. Whats the time difference in making small cubes versus the cutting in half??? Please stop the "debates" for me . Thanks Making mashed potato: My wife and i always get into a debate on this.
