SALT POTATOES WITH LEMON HERB BUTTER
This is a simple, classic salt potato recipe that is a perfect accompaniment to any summer meal--or year-round if you wish. The potatoes are sweet with just the right level of saltiness and combination of herbs. They're also great heated through the next day--that is if there are any left!

SALT POTATOES
I came across this in a food blog in Russian of all places. The recipe seemed so strange that I looked it up and found out it was actually a traditional dish of the Syracuse region, NY. Strange as the idea sounds, I decided to try it and now there is no turning back. This is my favourite way of preparing young potatoes!

Steps:
- Wash the potatoes but keep the skin intact.
- Place the potatoes in a sauce pan, cover with the water and pour in the salt. There are different opinions on the salt to water ratio but they all range from 1:4 to 1:6 so I opted for the middle.
- Bring to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are tender which would be 20-30 minutes. Be warned! The saline solution boils at a much higher temperature that water. It will be very hot. And It will sound like the potatoes are frying and not boiling.
- When ready, drain the potatoes in a colander and allow to dry so that a thin salt crust forms. You could rinse the salt off but be aware that the potato flesh absorbs almost no salt during cooking. Plus it will not be authentic.
- Serve hot with the butter on top or on the side. The potatoes will stay hot for quite a long time so they will melt the butter if you put it on top. If you opt for butter on the side, melt it and serve it as a dip.
- NOTE: The leftovers keep well in a fridge and reheat well. You can use them as an ingredient in dishes that call for baked or boiled potatoes. I use them in potato salads.
- NOTE: Try using herb butter or substitute the butter with a different dressing or dip.

LEMON-BUTTER NEW POTATOES
With an abundance of potatoes in our garden each summer, I often make this easy recipe. We love the combination of parsley and spices, and the lemony butter sauce. They make a great accompaniment to grilled fish. -Sandra McKenzie, Braham, Minnesota

NEW POTATOES WITH HERBES DE PROVENCE, LEMON AND COARSE SALT
Herbs de Provence is a specific combination generally consisting of rosemary, thyme, basil, savory, chervil, mint, marjoram, oregano, and sometimes lavender. If you do not have some on hand, simply use dried rosemary; it's a safe bet. Try to buy new potatoes that are 1 1/2" in diameter for this dish. If they are much bigger, cut in half before boiling.
