Salt Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes but keep the skin intact.
• Place the potatoes in a sauce pan, cover with the water and pour in the salt. There are different opinions on the salt to water ratio but they all range from 1:4 to 1:6 so I opted for the middle.
• Bring to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are tender which would be 20-30 minutes. Be warned! The saline solution boils at a much higher temperature that water. It will be very hot. And It will sound like the potatoes are frying and not boiling.
• When ready, drain the potatoes in a colander and allow to dry so that a thin salt crust forms. You could rinse the salt off but be aware that the potato flesh absorbs almost no salt during cooking. Plus it will not be authentic.
• Serve hot with the butter on top or on the side. The potatoes will stay hot for quite a long time so they will melt the butter if you put it on top. If you opt for butter on the side, melt it and serve it as a dip.
• NOTE: The leftovers keep well in a fridge and reheat well. You can use them as an ingredient in dishes that call for baked or boiled potatoes. I use them in potato salads.
• NOTE: Try using herb butter or substitute the butter with a different dressing or dip.

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and set aside. Fill a large pot with water; stir in salt until it no longer dissolves and settles on the bottom. Place potatoes in the pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain; cover to keep hot.
• While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small pan over medium high heat, or in microwave. Serve immediately poured over potatoes.

Steps:

• Bring potatoes, salt and 6 cups water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the salt has dissolved. Lower to a simmer, then cook until potatoes are tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Pour the water and potatoes into a colander in the sink and leave to air-dry for 5 minutes; you will see the salt start to form on the outside of the potatoes.
• Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, then pour the melted butter and sprinkle the chives over the top. Toss together, then serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and water in a large pot.
• Pour the salt over the potatoes, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
• Serve with the melted butter for dipping.

Steps:

• Put 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes in a saucepan; cover with 2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups white vinegar plus 2 pinches of salt. Reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, 12 to 15 minutes; drain. Toss on a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Flatten with a spatula and drizzle with 2 tablespoons more olive oil; season with salt. Broil, flipping, until crisp all over, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

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

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a pot and pour in enough vinegar to cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir potatoes in melted butter until crunchy and brown, 5 to 10 minutes; season with salt.
