Steaming Salad Potatoes
Cut any larger potatoes in half so they are all about the same size. Place the potatoes in a steamer over boiling water then put a lid on and let them steam for 20-25 minutes.
When the potatoes are cooked, remove the steamer and place a clean tea cloth over them for about 4 minutes to absorb the steam.
While they are still warm, pour a dressing over them and serve.
