These potatoes are an Upstate New York staple. They are creamy, buttery and salty with every bite. They are so simple and quick.
1/2 quarts water
2 lb. one-to-two bite sized new white boiling potatoes or creamer potatoes, washed
3/4 cu. fine sea salt
1/2 cu. butter, room temperature
Parsley-optional
Bring water to a boil in a medium to large pot over high heat. Add the salt and then carefully lower the potatoes into the water. Return the water to a boil and then lower the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are easily punctured with a fork or a skewer.
Drain the potatoes. Do not rinse. Allow them to air-dry for 5-10 minutes. Serve the potatoes hot, with a generous spoonful of butter on the side. Sprinkle with chopped parsley- optional. Dip the potato through the butter, bite, and repeat.
