Despite their name, salt potatoes aren't overloaded with salt! They have a thin salty crust that forms when they're boiled in super salty water. —Debby Harden, Lansing, Michigan

Ingredients

3 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes
2 cups kosher salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

In a large saucepot, combine potatoes, salt and 8 cups of water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking until potatoes are fork-tender, 20-25 minutes longer.
