Portuguese Salt Crusted Baked Potatoes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C (375°F).

Step 2

Add half of the sea salt into a medium-sized cast-iron skillet or roasting tray.  Use your hands to even out the salt.

Step 3

Place the potatoes on top of the salt.

Step 4

Add the remaining salt on top of the potatoes.  Try to do this evenly.  There is no need to cover an entire potato with salt.

Step 5

Place the skillet or tray into the oven for 45 to 50 mins, or until the potatoes are cooked.

Step 6

Take the skillet or tray out of the oven.  Set aside to let the potatoes cool.

Step 7

Transfer the potatoes into a plate and serve.
