I& #39;m originally from upstate New York, the family made these specialty potatoes. Origin: Irish who worked the salt mines & brought brine home to cook potatoes with. MMM, tender salty buttery PERFECTION! Now my American childhood fav will be passed on!

2) Here& #39;s recipe I tried that worked perfectly! And you can keep the potatoes cooking on low or medium for longer than suggested- just leave them in the pot while people graze. I used Morton Canning & Pickling Salt for an authentic brine style experience. https://www.food.com/recipe/salt-potatoes-new-york-style-91093">https://www.food.com/recipe/sa...

3) Melted butter completes the experience. As a kid, I& #39;d have butter dripping down my chin, and tonight... same. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧈" title="Butter" aria-label="Emoji: Butter">
SO very happy to have this joyful tradition from my childhood to share with my own family!
(my attempts to figure this out in the past failed spectacularly)

4) My grandparents & parents gone for many years now- been feeling a bit without roots & a little down.
Suddenly I was craving salt potatoes, & now I feel a bit of "home" to share with my family. I feel so blessed! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz"> I seriously LOVE these, so did my family! Big hit!

Adding what I forgot: small red potatoes, 3 lb bag work very well.
Tiny round potatoes get very tender and can jab with fork, slide around in the melted butter on bottom of your dish. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😘" title="Kusshand zuwerfendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Kusshand zuwerfendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧈" title="Butter" aria-label="Emoji: Butter"> A small bowl works well for putting 2-4 tiny potatoes in + melted butter over them.
