Boiled Potatoes

Ingredients

• Water
• Coarse sea salt (formerly 'bay salt')

Directions

1. Fill a pot with enough water to cover the potatoes and bring it to a boil.

2. Cut a ring around each potato to make them mealy and easier to peel.

3. Once the water is boiling, add a tablespoon of salt for every quart of water.

4. Add the potatoes and boil for about 15 minutes, adjusting time based on potato size and season.

5. Check doneness by piercing with a fork; if it goes through easily, drain the water.

6. Do not let the potatoes boil until they break open.

7. Cover the pot with a dry towel and place it on the back of the stove to keep warm for 5 to 10 minutes.
