I'll never forgive him for putting ranch on it at the end.

You watched it until the end? You are a better man than I.

every few years I have to send my brother a couple bags of salt potatoes to florida to get his fix.

My niece got married at Dinosaur this past December. It was the first time that I'd had salt potatoes in years. Now, I have a craving for some.

Ranch? WT!! That’s worse than ranch on wings.

I went to a NASCAR race at Talladega a couple years ago. The salt potatoes I contributed to the tailgate were a huge hit - the southern folks I was with demolished them.

Salt potatoes and spiedies are the two things I think of which have very regional appeal now, but could really take off nationally. I might add Cornell chicken to that list as well.

I'm from the Utica area. I live in Florida now. I got Utica Greens and Chicken Riggies from Delmonico's in Orlando and took them to a party at my brother's house. Huge hit. I wish more restaurants down here had some of those dishes.

You know what’s better than salt potatoes, making potato salad with the leftovers

I leave them in a bowl on the counter and snack on them.

Also a good idea. Breakfast homefries the next morning too.

I want to try spiedies with lamb, my grandparents were from Abruzzi, I assume they made arrosticini but my mom and aunts never made anything that resembled it afaik

It's a shame the potatoes aren't as good as they used to be.

They're generally too big nowadays.

I want ping-pong to golf ball size potatoes and only 1/3 to 1/4 of a bag have that size now... A lot are now twice that size.

Not to mention I picked up a bag in Hannaford here in albany that was branded "Empire Salt Potatoes' (not Hinnerwaddells) and they were grown in Massachusetts.

I felt done dirty and was ashamed.

i just cut the big ones in half.

Not the same.

The small ones are just better.

They used to be all small ones.

Sometimes I buy the mini red potatoes that are all that size and use them with my own salt.

You can get Utica Greens and Chicken Riggies in Orlando?? I’m impressed. I always thought an upstate NY themed restaurant could well in the south, with all the transplants. Utica greens, chicken riggies, Cornell chicken, tomato pie, beef on weck, spiedies, salt potatoes. Serve Finger Lakes wine and Ithaca beer. There’s my retirement plan.

This thread made me put salt potatoes on the grocery list.

Delmonico's in Orlando. It's the same Delmonico's that's in Syracuse, Utica and Albany...
