Salt Crusted Potatoes

Steak and potatoes go together like… steak and potatoes. These salt-crusted potatoes make the perfect accompaniment to any good piece of red meat.

If you are looking to impress your bedfellow this Valentines Day, this could do the trick.

Serves 4.

Ingredients:
2 lbs. red potatoes
1 tsp. salt
3 cups water
4 tbsp. butter
Pinch of parsley

Directions:
Place the potatoes, salt, and water in a large saucepan over high heat and bring to boil. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, then uncover and cook for additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until water is completely evaporated. Toss potatoes gently one
or two minutes until they develop a fine white salty crust. Add butter and parsley and toss to coat.
