Salzkartoffeln

Zutaten

• 4 cups cold water
• 1/3 - 1/2 cup fine sea salt, table salt or Kosher salt (*see Note 1)
• 1 lb. whole mini potatoes (white or red or a combination of both *see Note 2)
• 2 Tbsp butter (melted)
• Chopped fresh herbs (optional)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Add water to a pot. Add salt and stir well until salt is dissolved (you can see any settling on the bottom of the pot). Add potatoes. Make sure the water covers the potatoes. If not, add additional measured water and an additional 1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp of salt for every 1 cup of water you add.

2. 2

   Bring potatoes to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender (about 15 minutes for mini potatoes). *Be sure to test the potatoes by poking into the centre of the potatoes with a fork to be sure they are cooked through. Drain potatoes and allow the outside of the potatoes to dry. Place potatoes in a bowl and toss with melted butter and herbs, if using. Serve warm.
