Directions:
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.

There is some kind of magic that happens in the pot with these things. I don't know what it is. It's just potatoes and salt, what the heck? But OMG. Trust me. Do not cut back on the amount of salt. You want it all. They won't be salty, just crispy, creamy and delicious.
