Back in July, Adrian Villarreal of Rreal Tacos prepared salt-cooked potatoes. They were amazing and completely crave-worthy. He boiled them in very, very salted water until the water all evaporated. Which left a saucepan that would only be good for salt-cooking potatoes in the future (a thick salt crust that didn’t appear to be coming loose any time soon).
This recipe from “The Improvisational Cook” by Sally Schneider will save your cookware but give you similar results with very little trouble. Pick up a box of kosher salt and try it. Mix up a little sour cream with chives and serve alongside.
