Crusty Puffed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 small red potatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon course salt
Instructions
Serves two. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Rinse potatoes and dry well; rub them with olive oil and cut each one in half. Sprinkle cut sides with salt. Place potatoes on a baking rack and let stand for ten minutes so the salt can draw out some water. Bake on baking rack (not on a baking sheet) on middle oven rack until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Increase temperature to 500 degrees F. and bake until puffed and golden-brown, about five minutes more.
