Salt-Crusted Potatoes recipe
Posted by Leslie Green on Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 10:11 AM
I have seen the whole salt-crusting thing done with fish, done with meat etc. But I have never seen it done with potatoes. So when I came up with the idea the other night I thought I was a genius. But then there is this new thing called Google. You heard of it? It is a useful little tool on the world wide web that seems to know all the answers. If you don't want all of your hopes and dreams crushed about having a novel idea, then I do not recommend using the new found Google thing. Obviously (according to Mr. Google) salt-crusted potatoes is nothing new. Well hell, apparently I am not a genius after all.
