Instructions

  • Add the potatoes and salt to a large pot or Dutch oven and add enough water to reach about 1 inch from the top of the pot.
  • Bring it to a boil over high heat, stirring continuously until the salt dissolves completely in the water. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and strain the potatoes from the pot into a large bowl to cool.
  • Serve with melted butter and fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

Store leftover salt potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
