ROCK SALT POTATOES

We got this recipe from a friend and used it when we went camping once...Now we do it all the time. The potatoes are so fluffy like baked potatoes in a resturant. Same salt you use to make ice cream.

Steps:

  • Scrub the potatoes; do not peel. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Using a fork, prick the potatoes several times so the steam can escape and they don't explode.
  • Brush the outside of the potatoes lightly with olive oil
  • Pour rock salt into roasting pan in a 1-inch layer. Place the potatoes on top of the layer of rock salt. Add more rock salt to pack potatoes in place
  • Put in oven and bake for 1 hour. Serve with what ever you choose to put on them. You can reuse the rock salt after it cools just put it in a bag.

SYRACUSE SALT POTATOES

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.

Steps:

  • Wash the potatoes and set aside. Fill a large pot with water; stir in salt until it no longer dissolves and settles on the bottom. Place potatoes in the pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain; cover to keep hot.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small pan over medium high heat, or in microwave. Serve immediately poured over potatoes.
