Step 1
Thoroughly wash the potatoes and set them to the side.
Step 2
Prepare a large pot by filling it with water and adding salt. Stir vigorously until the salt dissolves fully. (Don't let any sink to the bottom of the pot.)
Step 3
Transfer the potatoes to the salted water. Bring the water to a boil.
Step 4
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat slightly and simmer for about 15 minutes. The potatoes should be tender but still firm.
Step 5
Drain the pot of water. Cover it with a lid to keep the potatoes hot, and let the salt crust form.
Step 6
Meanwhile, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove stove over medium-high heat. When the potatoes are ready and the salt crust has formed, drizzle them generously with the melted butter.
Step 7
Serve while the potatoes are still warm. Garnish with any optional toppings, and enjoy!
