Instructions

1. 01

   Pre-cook your baby potatoes in salted water until they are fork-tender.

2.  

   Ingredients

   • 1 pound Baby potatoes
   • Kosher salt, to taste

3. 02

   Drain the potatoes and set them out on a sheet lined with paper towels to dry for 60 minutes. If you want to speed up this process or add a little smoke to the mix, you can use your grill running at about 180-200°F to speed up the drying process. Cook them for about 20-30 minutes using this method.

4. 03

   Once the potatoes are dry, preheat your griddle to medium to medium-low heat. Place some oil and butter over the cooking surface, and place the potatoes on, leaving about 2 inches between each potato.
