Salt Potatoes

I had my first SALT POTATOES Saturday along with a Pork Slider and a few bites of a Brisket Slider to taste. It tasted as though they were made with garlic butter.  The recipe was simple.. 4 pounds of small potatoes and 1 pound of salt added to the boiling water. I would dread wasting all that salt just to make enough potatoes for one meal. I do make my Garlic Raw Fries, and was more impressed with them actually. I think just boiling some potatoes with the skin on in regular salted water.. (a Tsp to a TB) and tossing the cooked potatoes in garlic butter would make an equally good side dish, they just wouldn't be as soft and fluffy.
