Boiled Potatoes

Ingredients

small, smooth potatoes
coarse sea salt

Directions

Wash the potatoes and peel them, removing only a thin layer. Place them in cold water as you peel.
In a pot, bring plenty of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and boil for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes as soon as they are tender. Cover them with a clean towel to keep them hot without burning until ready to serve.
