Frequently Asked Questions
What type of potatoes should I use for Syracuse Salt Potatoes?
It’s best to use small, unpeeled new potatoes, as they hold their shape well and absorb the salt brine effectively.
How much salt do I need for the brining process?
You’ll need about 1 cup of salt for every 4 quarts of water to create a brine that enhances the flavor of the potatoes.
Do I need to peel the potatoes before cooking them?
No, you should leave the potatoes unpeeled to maintain their texture and allow them to soak up the salt brine.
These potatoes are absolutely both delicious and gorgeous!
What herbs taste best with these? I’ve had these before when others have made them but I’ve never noticed herbs on them. Parsley?
