How to Make Baby Red Salt Potatoes

  1. Wash and scrub 1 pound of baby red potatoes thoroughly.
  2. Fill a medium to large saucepan with about 6 cups of water. Add 1/2 cup of kosher salt, stirring until no more salt dissolves and it settles at the bottom.
  3. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  4. Carefully add the potatoes to the boiling water.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  6. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander.
  7. Gently toss the potatoes in a serving bowl with 2 tablespoons of melted butter (or olive oil) and your favorite seasonings. Suggestions include: 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
