I love boiled peanuts. When you see an old man on the side of the road with little zip lock baggies full of boiled peanuts, you know you’ve reached a new level of country folks.
They are amazing though. I like to get mine soft and juicy so I can pop one in my mouth, crack the shell with my teeth, suck the juice and then get the nuts out.
YUM!
Ingredients:
24 oz bag of raw peanuts
5 cups water
1/2 cup slap ya mama seafood boil spices
Potato (if needed)

We want the water to cover the peanuts, so put some foil balls on top (as pictured)
