This is one of my favorite ways to cook little potatoes. Start with a bunch of salt and pour it into a baking dish then place potatoes on top. After baking, the potatoes taste perfectly seasoned and have a extraordinarily smooth consistency inside. Make these for a simple side dish or serve as finger food next to your favorite dip. And if you were wondering, you can reuse the salt, just save it in a re-sealable plastic bag for the next time you want to roast potatoes. Recipe updated, originally posted September 2010.
