5 cups water
1 Tbsp salt
2 medium onions, peeled and cut into large pieces
6 cloves garlic, peeled and split lengthwise

2. Place potatoes, water, and salt in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Cook until potatoes are almost completely soft, about fifteen minutes. (should be some resistance at the center when pierced with a fork).
