4 pounds small red or yellow potatoes (about 1 1/2" diameter), whole, not cut or pierced
1 cup salt, table salt or kosher
3 tablespoons butter, melted
chopped parsley, optional
1. In a large pot
(about 4.5 quart) place 1 cup of salt and fill with 3 cups warm water. Stir water to dissolve salt. Add washed, WHOLE potatoes to pot. Add about 3 additional
cups of water to cover potatoes.
2. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Drain, pour melted butter over potatoes. Serve with chopped parsley, if desired.
Salt Potatoes, also known as Syracuse potatoes, have an insanely creamy texture inside because of the amount of salt they’re boiled in. Yet, they are perfectly
seasoned and heavenly tasting with drizzled melted butter poured on top.
