New Potatoes or Malta Potatoes

4 servings

Ingredients

• potatoes (as needed)
• water (a little)
• 1.5 tbsp cooking caraway
• 1.5 tbsp salt
• butter (a little)
• parsley (a little)

Instructions

1. If you want to boil new potatoes in their skins, place them in hot water and add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking caraway and the same amount of salt; otherwise, proceed as with old potatoes.
2. Treat peeled new potatoes the same way as old ones; once cooked, it is recommended to toss them with a piece of butter and finely chopped parsley.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
