Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs new potatoes (small, white potatoes)
- 1 cup coarse salt
- 8 cups water
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on. Remove any dirt or debris using a vegetable brush if necessary.
In a large pot, add the water and coarse salt. Stir to dissolve the salt partially (it is okay if not all the salt dissolves).
Place the washed potatoes in the pot with the salted water.
Set the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and let the potatoes simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to allow any excess water to evaporate. You will notice a white, salty crust forming on the potato skins as they dry.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
Serve the salt-crusted potatoes hot with the melted butter drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
