Photo: Salt Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 pounds small potatoes, such as baby Yukon gold
- 2 1/4 cups kosher salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter
Directions
Put the potatoes, 8 cups water and the salt in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake to remove excess water. Let the skins dry in the colander so that some of the salt crystallizes.
Meanwhile, put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Serve the potatoes hot with the butter for dipping.

I am looking for easy recipes for my crab dinner party and thought this would be easy to fix along with steamed crabs and corn on the cob. I have never tried the "real thing' from New York so I am not sure if they are as good, but this was so simple, and yes, the insides of the potatoes were dense but creamy, very hard to describe, but tasted delicious. My first thought was of a boiled peanut-haha, but they are definitely potatoes, the crust when they sit is nice and light, and goes perfect with a bowl of plain old butter. I would make these again, and will make them for my party. I did go through my bag of red petite potatoes and pulled out the closest in diameter, but after making them, I doubt it really matters all that much.

These were okay... They really didn't seem like they were all that to me... I really wanted to love them, but they seemed not much different than regular boiled potatoes to us.
