Bring approx. 2 quarts water (or enough to cover potatoes) to a

Add potatoes. Return to a boil and boil approximately 20 minutes,
or until potatoes are soft. (Red skinned potatoes may take slightly
longer.) Drain potatoes in a colander, but do not rinse. Allow
potatoes to dry a few minutes. The salt will form a crust on the
potato skins. Melt butter and pour over potatoes. Serve hot.
