Salt-baked Potatoes

Perfect salt-baked potatoes in bite-sized pieces - the perfect snacks for an ice-cold beer or cocktails! Serve them, for example, at your next summer garden party - they can easily replace the usual chips or pretzel sticks that often end up on the snack table :-)

Ingredients

  • 400 gram Potato New Potatoes
  • 25 gram Salt

Instructions

  • Take a pot and fill it with water.
  • Add salt and bring to a boil.
  • Put the potatoes in the boiling water.
  • Let the potatoes cook until just tender. Check the potatoes by pricking them with a sharp paring knife.
  • Next, pour off most of the water from the potatoes - leave about 1½ cm. of water in the pot.
  • Continue boiling and turn the potatoes until the remaining water has completely evaporated - be careful not to puncture the potatoes in the process.
  • Let the potatoes sit on low heat in the now dry pot, turning them a couple of times as they gradually take on color and wrinkle a bit.
  • Turn off the stove and let the potatoes cool slightly before serving.
  • As you can see, the potatoes get a thin and fine salt layer on the outside. They are excellent as an alternative to chips, for example.
