Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 Pounds (lb) new potatoes
• 1.5 Cups fine salt
• 8 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients. Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and set them aside.
2. Fill a large pot with water and stir in the fine salt until it is fully dissolved, ensuring no salt settles at the bottom.
3. Add the potatoes to the pot and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender but still firm, approximately 15 minutes.
4. Drain the potatoes and cover them to keep them hot, allowing a salt crust to develop on their surface.
5. While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small pan over medium-high heat or in the microwave.
6. Drizzle the melted butter over the hot, salt-crusted potatoes before serving. Enjoy your savory side dish!
