Categories     Side Dish     Dinner     Appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 pounds new potatoes (or any small, white, gold or red potato)
2 cups table salt (or 4 cups kosher salt)
5 1/2 quarts water
1 cup (2 sticks) butter (cut into thin slices)

Steps:

  • Clean and rinse potatoes; reserve. Do not use large potatoes cut into smaller pieces for this recipe because the skins protect the potatoes from absorbing too much salt .
  • Bring the salt and water to boil in a large kettle. Carefully add the potatoes. Boil until fork-tender, about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the size of potatoes.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander. Transfer them back into the dry kettle and place over low heat. Toss in the butter and freshly ground black pepper to taste. When the butter is melted, toss everything together and serve.
  • If you are making salt potatoes for a large group, spoon the potatoes into paper bowls, drizzle some extra butter over them and serve with toothpicks.

SYRACUSE SALT POTATOES



Syracuse Salt Potatoes image

Salt potatoes are a regional specialty of Syracuse, New York, a.k.a. The Salt City. Salt potatoes date to the 1800s, invented by local salt mine workers who created a simple and inexpensive lunch by boiling small potatoes in brine. The potatoes are still very popular today with the Central New York crowd, making an incredibly easy and delicious side dish.

SALT-CRUSTED FINGERLING POTATOES



Salt-Crusted Fingerling Potatoes image

This is a delicious appetizer that can be cooked in a few minutes, adapted from a dish served by José Andrés at The Bazaar, his restaurant in Los Angeles. Over several visits, I enjoyed his extravagant treats, like the sticks of foie gras wrapped in cotton candy and the crispy cones filled with cauliflower cream and American caviar, but the dish I kept thinking about was "Salty Wrinkled Potatoes." He flies in potatoes from Cape Verde. I pick up fingerling potatoes from our local farmers' market and can't tell the difference. Select the smallest fingerlings you can find.

Categories     quick, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fingerling potatoes, washed
3 cups water
1/2 cup Kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, skins on
1 cup Italian parsley, washed, leaves only
1 cup cilantro, washed, leaves only
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes, water, and Kosher salt into a pot and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. With a wooden skewer, test to see if they are tender. Pour off most of the water, reserving as much salt as possible.
  • Lower the heat and keep a watchful eye on the potatoes. The goal is to let the water evaporate so the potatoes are coated in salt. Be careful not to burn the salt or the potatoes. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes, then remove the potatoes and let cool.
  • Use a kitchen towel to wipe the excess salt off each potato, leaving only a light dusting of salt on each. Clean the potatoes one by one so the skins don't break.
  • To make the dipping sauce, start by putting the garlic cloves on a skewer. Char them on an open flame. Brush off the blackened skins and roughly chop. Place the parsley and cilantro leaves, the roasted garlic, black pepper, and olive oil into a mini-blender and puree to a smooth consistency.
  • Pour the sauce into a small bowl. Serve the potatoes and sauce at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best results. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil in a large pot of salted water. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat the potatoes.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
