Salt potatoes are, so far, ONLY available in NY. BTW I saw a low sodium recipe on the bag (they come in a bag)...it said "Low sodium: omit salt"

I still chuckle at that one...

Re: How was your 4th of July ???

Oh Trista, salt potatoes are the best little food you could ever haveBasically they are new potatoes boiled in brine and then dipped in butter to eat. I am guessing its more of a NY food because Syracuse NY is salt city and they originated there. When we lived in Michigan, there were no salt potatoes and I thought I had been punished to live without themI think I need to start a crusade to introduce the magic of salt potatoes to the world

I bribed Jerry to bbq some ribs and make salt potatoes while i sat my fanny on a chaise in the backyard and kept an eye on charity, the babies sat in their strollers and made faces at me. Of course i may have dozed here and there Then we drove to the lake to watch fireworks to find out they were on Sunday but met my father and his partner there and they had sparklers. They said they got them for Charity, but somehow i don't think giving a 4 year old a piece of metal with burning material on the end would be a smart idea. Instead Jerry ran around the parking lot of an ice cream stand with a sparkler in each hand singing "Hooray for the Red, White, and Blue"

Definitely not what I expected for my 4th but quite enjoyable. Today he demanded I make good on my bribe, so I made him his steak and salad with homemade ice cream. I'm done with bribes, his cooking took an hour tops, I just got done Unplanned but still thoroughly enjoyable

Re: How was your 4th of July ???

Well, there are two ways. One is to go to Walmart and buy a bag of them and just cook them up. Of course, away from NY there isn't that ability. The other way is 10lbs small new potatoes, 2.5lbs of salt, and of course water. Put the potatoes, salt, and water in a pot and boil them until tender. If you don't put the potatoes in from the beginning they don't get the proper "salty" taste. Drain them and melt butter (its got to be real butter, believe me) The best way to eat them is to put melted butter in a cup or bowl, spear a potato and dip it into the melted butter. Its so good, I'm drooling just thinking about it

Ooooohhhh, salt potatoes. Tell me how you do that. We had salt potatoes when we visited New York and they were wonderful. I've tried it here in Arizona but it just isn't the same. What's the secret? Is it a special kind of potatoes? I tried it with new white potatoes and with red ones and it doesn't work right.

It was 102 here the last time I remember anyone checking, but it was nice and cool inside. We had a BBQ -- excellent pork ribs cooked on the grill (by my son-in-law), potatoes, corn-on-the-cob, macaroni salad and absolutely fabulous banana cake. YUM! And we tried a jar of my homemade bread and butter pickles. They were actually good! lol.. I've never made pickles before and no one died after eating them... so I guess the pickles were a success.

If you prepare them according to the directions, the salt dries on the skins white and a little flaky, but dipped in butter you don't taste a real strong salty flavor. If they are left over night and eaten the next day, they get real real salty tasting.Trista wrote:

ROFL My husband and I laugh that we need to have me in some of the pics, just so our kids and grandkids know I really did exist. LOL

I will have to send pics of our day swimming. Of course there's only 1 pic of me, cause I take the pictures usually....lol

We've been celebrating since Friday the 1st....lol

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

-- How was your 4th of July ???

How was everyones 4th of July weekend? How was the weather?

It was 102 here the last time I remember anyone checking, but it was nice and cool inside. We had a BBQ -- excellent pork ribs cooked on the grill (by my son-in-law), potatoes, corn-on-the-cob, macaroni salad and absolutely fabulous banana cake. YUM! And we tried a jar of my homemade bread and butter pickles. They were actually good! lol.. I've never made pickles before and no one died after eating them... so I guess the pickles were a success.

Hi Sharon, We had a clam roast picnic. We also had chicken and salads. My kids went swimming but I didn't because it was cool and nice out. Later we went over to my brother in law's house for fire works. Sharon Marsden wrote:
