Syracuse Salt Potatoes
Syracuse Salt Potatoes are tender new potatoes simmered in a salty brine that leaves a delicate, crackly crust and a rich, buttery finish. Each bite balances briny snap with a fluffy, velvety interior. Serve warm at cookouts, picnics, or alongside grilled meats when you want a simple, nostalgic side that highlights the potato’s natural sweetness.

Fill a large pot with water; stir in the salt until it is completely dissolved and no salt settles at the bottom. Add the potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil; lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain; cover to keep them hot and allow the salt crust to form.

While the potatoes cook, melt the butter in a small pan over medium-high heat, or in the microwave. Drizzle it over the hot potatoes.
