Ingredients

4 pounds small potatoes, such as baby Yukon gold

2 1/4 cups kosher salt

1 stick unsalted butter

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Meanwhile, put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Serve the potatoes hot with the butter for dipping.

Syracuse's nick name is Salt City. When miners worked the salt springs in the Liverpool suburb of Syracuse they created salt potatoes as a snack while they were working. From there the potatoes migrated over to the "Great New York State Fair". And the rest, as they say, is history. <br /><br />If you'd like a full NY State Fair experience try making chicken, beef, pork, lamb or veal marinated in Spiedie Sauce (available online). A Binghamton area original and integral part of the NY State Fair or hot sausage with peppers and onions, again paired with corn on the cob. The best cook-out food you'll ever find!
