Salt-Crusted Potatoes

Alot of salt, you say? Yes! But you'll never know it to taste it.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 2  cups kosher salt
•  fresh coarse ground black pepper (3 turns)
• 4  fresh rosemary sprigs, ripped in pieces
• 4  fresh thyme sprigs, ripped in pieces
• 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 12  small yellow potatoes, rinsed, scrubbed, and patted dry (i.e. fingerling or Yukon)

Directions

1. Combine the salt, pepper, and herbs in a large bowl.
2. Pour the oil into a large cast iron skillet and set over medium-high flame or charcoal grill.
3. When the oil reaches a slight smoke, add the potatoes in a single layer and fry until they get nice and crackled on all sides.
4. Cover the potatoes completely with the salt mixture, and cook for about 1 hour until the salt forms a cooked crust and the potatoes are tender.
5. Break open the crust to serve.
