Hoffman coneys

Did you Know you can order Hoffman Coneys, Grandma Browns beans and New York salt potatoes on line? Google Taste of central New York

I'm curious about salt potatos. Saw them at our Wegmans last week. Can you enlighten me?

BTW, I love the Hoffman Coneys, best available here in Virginia.

Salt Potatoes are a Syracuse area delicasy...very easy to do...buy a bag of the potatoes...they come with a pouch of salt with them...along with directions...you can use all the salt or as much as you want...but you need to use some...as it tenderizes the potato.....fill a pot with water...add the salt..bring to a boil and add the potatos...reduce to a medium simmer....and cook till potatoes are tender.....then melt butter...for a whole bag...I usually do at least half a pound....then drain the potatoes and pour the melted butter on them....and eat while still warm....leftovers can be used to for breakfast the next morning..just give them a bit of mashing...and fry up with onions, peppers...etc......they actually sell salt potatoes at the NY state fain held in Syracuse....

I live in the Mid-Hudson Valley, and you can get Grandma Browns and Hinderwadl salt potatoes at the local Wal-Mart. Also another Syracuse favorite you can get there is Byrne dairy milk and ice cream. I figure it's only a matter of time before the Hoffmanns arrive......Mike
