Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Choose small potatoes with thin skins for the best results. Avoid using large potatoes as they may take longer to cook and may not absorb the salt as well.
- Salt — Use a coarse salt, such as kosher salt or sea salt, for the boiling water. This helps to season the potatoes evenly.
Tips & Tricks
- For a twist, try adding garlic powder or paprika to the salt mixture for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a softer texture, cook the potatoes for a few minutes longer.
- Leftover Salt Potatoes can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day. Simply reheat them in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Serving advice
Serve the Salt Potatoes as a side dish alongside grilled meats, roasted chicken, or seafood. They also make a delicious addition to a summer barbecue or picnic spread.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Salt Potatoes on a platter, garnishing them with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an appealing touch. Serve the herb butter in a small dish on the side, allowing guests to add as much as they desire.
