Ingredients
- 4 pounds new potatoes
- 1 1/2 cups fine salt
- 8 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients and prepare them for use.
2
Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold water, then set them aside on a clean surface.
3
Fill a large container with water and add salt until it is completely dissolved, ensuring that no salt settles at the bottom of the pot. Place the potatoes in the container and bring the water to a rolling boil; then, reduce the heat and continue to cook until the potatoes reach your desired level of tenderness, approximately 15 minutes. Remove from heat; cover with a lid to retain warmth and allow the natural crust to form.

Meanwhile, take advantage of this opportunity to prepare another crucial component. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, or utilize your microwave for a more efficient approach. Once the butter is fully melted and hot, carefully drizzle it over the cooked potatoes
