Salt Potatoes with Butter and Herbs

Ingredients
2 pounds small potatoes
2 cups sea salt
¹⁄₂ cup unsalted butter
¹⁄₄ cup mixed fresh herbs such as marjoram, chives, lemon basil, etc, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
1. Scrub the potatoes, but don’t peel them. (I had to peel mine a bit since the skins were weird.)

2. Bring 3 quarts water to a boil with the salt. Stir to dissolve the salt, and then add the potatoes. Boil over medium heat until the potatoes are fork-tender, 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Drain the potatoes then toss them in a bowl with the butter and herbs. Season with pepper and serve.

Comments
This recipe is from Local Flavors and, woah, were these potatoes salty.  Way too salty.  Lance and I tolerated them, but I wouldn’t say that we actually enjoyed them.  I will not be revisiting this recipe.
