Syracuse Salt Potatoes

Wash the potatoes and set aside. Fill a large pot with water; stir in salt until it no longer dissolves and settles on the bottom. Place potatoes in the pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender but firm about 15 minutes. Drain; cover to keep hot.

While the potatoes are cooking melt the butter in a small pan over medium high heat or in microwave. Serve immediately poured over potatoes.
