Equipment
Ingredients
- 2½ lb baby potatoes half of a 5-pound bag
- 1 tsp table salt for boiling water
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- First, wash the potatoes in the sink.
- Put the potatoes in a large saucepan.
- Fill the pot with cold water about an inch above the potatoes.
- Add the table salt to the water and the potatoes. Stir it up a bit.
- Turn the burner on high and bring the water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high.
- Cook the potatoes for about 15 minutes. If your water is boiling too much, turn the burner down to medium heat.
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick (or fork) into a potato. It should slide in the potato with ease, but not tear the potato apart.
- Drain the water from the pot.
- Add the unsalted butter and cook on low heat until the butter is melted.
- Sprinkle the coarse Kosher salt over the potatoes and mix it all up.
- Turn the burner off and place a lid over the potatoes to keep them warm until you are ready to serve them.
