Recipe - Roasted Potatoes Buried In Sea Salt

12 md New potatoes
2 cup Coarse sea salt or Kosher
salt

Try using red new potatoes or small yellow potatoes in this dish, burying
them completely in the coarse sea salt or Kosher salt. The results crisp
skin and soft, buttery insides with just the right amount of saltiness.
The salt acts as a kind of "crust" without overwhelming the potatoes. Brush
the hot salt off the potatoes using a pastry brush or your hands well
wrapped in a pot holder.

With the potatoes serve any roast.

Directions: ~ Preheat oven to 350 F.

Place the potatoes in a mediumsize roasting pan or ovenproof skillet; do
not crowd the pan. Pour the salt over the potatoes; there should be enough
salt so that only the very tops of the potatoes peek through.

Roast the potatoes until tender, about 45minutes. Brush the salt off the
potatoes before serving. Serve hot.
