Steps
- 1Place the potatoes in a 4-quart pot and cover them with cold water, adding salt. Bring to a boil without covering the pot and cook until the potatoes are tender, which should take around 10 to 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and cut them in half if they are large.
- 2As the potatoes are boiling, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over simmering water. Cover and steam for 3 to 5 minutes until they are tender but still have a crisp texture. Remove the asparagus using a slotted spoon and immediately transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to halt the cooking process. After that, gently pat dry the asparagus before incorporating them into the dish.
