5 tablespoons of EVOO was used in the making of this meal for 4 people. That's alot if veggies and "grilled" chicken
I was curious if this was a "healthy" meal so I paid attention.

The more EVOO the better! It’s great for good cholesterol. I use 1/2 cup for my pesto per week!

Going outside and frying food. Is this just another fad like airfryers and George Foreman grills. But hey whatta I know, I still use Charcoal and real wood

They aren’t new. Not sure why it’s a fad now. I remember seeing them at meadowlands parking lots tailgating in the 80’s!

Salt potatoes are actually a Central NY Thing,,,,, originated in the salt boil fields of Onondaga Lake.  They are small potatoes, usually white, boiled in heavily salted water.   At Wegmans or other groceries, there are 5 pounds of potatoes and about 1 cup of salt in a bag.  Then cut or smashed open and drizzled with butter making them a perfect summer side dish.

I did not know that salt potatoes are a local thing only.  Interesting.

I challenge Bizs accusations.  As a kid my grandmother lived on long Island. When we would visit she would make this as a side dish to her corned beef. They are available downstate.

You'll have to excuse our Connecticut friend. His culinary skill set is rather limited you might say.

If @Chef, who actually went to culinary school never heard of them, they aren't common. I, only heard of them from summers spent in Pulaski and Depew as a kid. They aren't in local SENY grocery stores.

 

Even google says: Salt potatoes are a regional specialty of Syracuse, New York, a.k.a. The Salt City. Salt potatoes date to the 1800s, invented by local salt mine workers who created a simple and inexpensive lunch by boiling small potatoes in brine. The potatoes are still very popular today with the Central New York crowd, making an incredibly easy and delicious side dish.

Anywho, if you've never made home fries from them you all should give it a shot you won't regret it.

my dad used to make them heavy on the salt at clam bakes to sell more beer!  

Ive cooked them before and people didnt know what they were and i just take them for granted.  Def a regional thing like Beef on a Weck, Utica greens etc.   

[REDNECK4LIFE32]

I'm from the Adirondacks and I ate them as a kid and to date. Must be because my grandfather grew up in Rome and Utica and Verona.

[Robhuntandfish]

those would be great on the blackstone.  Boiled thru then smashed a little to brown, then drizzle with butter and some herbs.

Just saying where they originated, not where they are available. Like Buffalo chicken wings....
