My daughter and I loved these, although the other four family members seemed pretty indifferent. I will be adding this to my regular potato "rotation." Thanks for a fun new recipe.

My husband and I met in Syracuse - and he is from Potsdam (way upstate) - he is ALWAYS asking for salt potatoes as a side dish. This recipe gave me the ratios I needed to make him happy. Thanks :)

If only you could taste these with the Cornell barbecue chicken that one can find about any weekend of the summer around here(Ithaca, NY/Cornell area)you'd know what it's all about!! You want them nice and tender, with plenty of butter, but not falling apart. Also, make sure you are using small, young potatoes- not too big.

I LOVE these potatoes! They taste fantastic and my roommates loved them too. Be careful to balance out your potato weight and the water/salt ratio, the first time I made this I incorrectly guestimated my potatos and it was almost too salty. The second (and third and fourth and fifth!) times it was fantastic and my roommates beg me to make this all the time!

I've lived in the Syracuse area all my life...they are Always a summertime staple, the Best one's are the Hinderwadle's, some stores carry their "own" brand, but the Hinderwadle's are the "traditional" Salt Potato..for those who aren't too big on using the whole bag of salt when cooking the potatoes, try using a little more than half the bag. I always let the potatoes sit covered after draining for a bit before serving.

A blast from the past. Such a delicious and simple side dish. You can throw in some fresh dill or parsley etc for looks, but these are so tasty they really don't need anything else. These are best served the same day...they lose some of their flavor as leftovers the next day.

I hate to spoil the 5 star rating but I have to. Straight away you know that the amount of salt and butter used in this recipe is not good for you but since I love potatoes I decided to go for it. No one ate more than a few bites!!! The salt was a killer. One person said that this was suicide on a plate. In any event - for all those salt lovers - go for it!!!

I love salt potatoes. I used to live in Binghamton and would always get them at a local spiedie restaurant. I am not really a potato lover but made like this, they are so yummy. Make sure the potatoes are nice and small - so you can just pop them in your mouth in one bite!

I'd never heard of these until we moved to the PA/NY border almost 15 years ago. However, they are a family favorite. We get these at every local festival and make them for every backyard barbecue. Make them exactly as described -- no need to dress them up.

Had this for the first time last week at my boyfriends brothers house upstate. Didn't think I was going to be impressed but I was. Added some fresh chives, yummy!
