Perfect Fingerling Potatoes image

This recipe is from Alton Brown's Eat This Rock! You cook the potatoes in heavily salted water and the salt crystallizes on the outside of the potatoes. It seems like a lot of salt but it works. The reviews rave over it! I have slightly adapted it. They are even good cold!

Time 35m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 lbs kosher salt (or rock salt)
2 quarts water
2 lbs small fingerling potatoes, cleaned
4 tablespoons butter (optional)
fresh ground black pepper (optional)
1 tablespoon freshly chopped scallion, green part only (optional)
parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine the salt, water, and potatoes and bring to a boil.
