Recipe for salt potatoes. I'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'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
3) Melted butter completes the experience. As a kid, I'd have butter dripping down my chin, and tonight... same. 
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!
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.
A small bowl works well for putting 2-4 tiny potatoes in + melted butter over them.
