Boiled Butter Potatoes

This is quite possibly the most simple potato dish I make. Another nod to Dot's in Pflugerville Texas that closed today.

Ingredients:
Russet potatoes
Butter
Salt


I used 6 potatoes though I think there are only 4 here. I amso used 2 sticks of butter.


Peel and cut the potatoes into large chunks.


Cover the potatoes with about and inch of water over the top in a large pot. I changed potato cooking pots here so I could use the smaller one for another side dish.



Cook the potatoes until they break apart when you touch them with a spoon.


Drain the potatoes as best you can but don't dump them into a strainer. A little water will be a good thing shortly. Add the softened butter and cover to let the potato's heat melt the butter.


Stir the butter into the potatoes with 3 or 4 turns of the pot, do not whip them, you are looking for a chunky texture.
