      Title: ROASTED POTATOES BURIED IN SEA SALT
  Categories: Potatoes, Vegetables
       Yield: 6 Servings
  
      12 md New potatoes
       2 c  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 medium-size 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 45-minutes. Brush the salt off
   the potatoes before serving. Serve hot.
