Category: Side Dish
Ingredients
  • 3 lbs baby red potatoes, UNPEELED
  • 2 quarts water
  • 1½ cups kosher or fine sea salt
  • 6 Tbsp butter, cut into 1 Tbsp pieces
  • Fresh herbs (I use chopped parsley, thyme, and chives)
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Scrub potatoes and set aside.
  2. Combine salt and water in a large pot. Stir to dissolve some of the salt - the rest will settle to the bottom. Add potatoes, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes. Drain and let dry for a few minutes to allow the salt to crystallize a bit.
  3. Return to the pot. Add butter, herbs and pepper and toss to melt butter and combine. Serve immediately.
Notes
To veganize, use Earth Balance buttery sticks or other vegan butter in place of the real butter.
