Ingredients
- 4 1/4 pounds small new potatoes 1 1/2 inches diameter is ideal
- 2 cups salt
- 3 quarts water
- 1/2 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Put 3 quarts of water in a pot. Use a large one that won't overflow so you don't have to clean salt off the stove when you are done.
- Add salt (all 2 cups) and bring the water to a boil. Stir to dissolve the salt.
- Rinse the potatoes to remove any dirt, but don't peel.
- Add potatoes to the boiling water. Use a spoon to lower them in a few at a time so you don't splash yourself with boiling water.
- Boil the potatoes for 15- 20 minutes, until a fork goes into the potato easily.
- Dump the potatoes in a colander and let the water evaporate off so that a layer of salt crystallizes on the skins.
- Serve with melted butter.
Notes
- The ratio of salt to water is crucial to this recipe. So measure the amount of water you put into your pot. Don't just fill a big pot with water and add the salt and potatoes.
