Scrub potatoes if not pre-washed. Do not peel.

Add salt to the water in a large pot. Add potatoes and bring mixture to a boil over high heat. When boiling reduce the heat and allow potatoes to simmer approximately 20 minutes more. They are done when they are fork tender in the middle.

Melt butter gently in the microwave.

Serve hot potatoes immediately with melted butter for drizzling or dipping.
