Ingredients
- 2 lbs new potatoes (small, white potatoes)
- 1 cup coarse salt
- 8 cups water
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on. Remove any dirt or debris using a vegetable brush if necessary.
Step 2
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).
Step 3
Place the washed potatoes in the pot with the salted water.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
Step 7
Serve the salt-crusted potatoes hot with the melted butter drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
