15 -18 small red potatoes, leave skin intact
3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

  • Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add the potatoes, 2 teaspoons of salt, and pepper and leave to a roiling boil for approximately 25 minutes or until fork tender. Strain the potatoes, reserving 1 cup of the liquid.
