I had never
heard of Salt Potatoes before seeing
a reference to them by BookChickDi
(one of my co-participants in the wonderful link up by Beth Fish Reads called
Weekend Cooking).
After doing
a bit of research I found that these potatoes are a speciality of Syracuse, New
York. They were simple to cook. I used small ordinary boiling potatoes – next
time I'll wait for the tiny new potatoes.
To cook
Salt Potatoes all that is different from normal boiling is that you use 1 part
salt to every 6 parts of water – that's a whole lot of salt.
The
potatoes weren't over salty and tasted good served with lashings of melted
butter.
I have never heard of salt potatoes but I am going to have to try these!! I love all things SALTY! I happen to have LOTS of salt on hand. A few YEARS ago LD amd I were at Sam's and since I was out of salt and didn't want to have to stop at a regular grocery store on he way home - we bought a bag of salt! A 20 POUND bag of salt!! I won't be needing to buy any more for a vey LONG time!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try this with the next breadfruit I cook. Would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of salt potatoes either -- interesting!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of these but never tried to make them. I might give them a shot.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of salt potatoes, but never tried them. I will have to give them a go!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who has a house in Syracuse and she brings me back a bag whenever she goes upstate,
ReplyDeleteI am a huge potato fan, but the only way I don't like them is boiled. Don't know why - the texture, maybe.
ReplyDeleteThat is funny as I remember someone recently talking about salt potatoes and I had no idea what they were either! YUM!
