Cooking Time: 30 min
Ingredients
* 3 pounds small new ("creamer") potatoes
* 4 quarts water
* 1 cup salt (see Note)
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
Instructions
1. Place potatoes and water in a large pot. Pour salt over potatoes, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Reduce heat to medium and cook 25 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Serve with melted butter for dipping.
Note
For that authentic Central New York flavor, use an additional 1/2 cup salt. And if you have any of these left over, they're perfect for making home fries to serve with any of your favorite breakfast recipes.
