Ingredients

2 cups kosher salt
Several turns coarsely ground black pepper
4 fresh rosemary sprigs, ripped in pieces
4 fresh thyme sprigs, ripped in pieces
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
12 small yellow potatoes, such as fingerling or Yukon, rinsed, scrubbed, and patted dry

Directions

Combine the salt, pepper, and herbs in a large bowl. Pour the oil into a large cast iron skillet and set over medium-high flame or charcoal grill. When the oil reaches a slight smoke, add the potatoes in a single layer and fry until they get nice and crackled on all sides. Cover the potatoes completely with the salt mixture, and cook for about 1 hour until the salt forms a cooked crust and the potatoes are tender. Break open the crust to serve.

too salty
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy to do, and the potatoes tasted delicious, but I needed to rinse them before eating. They were way too... salty. I don't know if the crust didn't form properly or what, but the potatoes had too much salt on them.Read more

If you like salt....
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

...you'll love this recipe. I couldn't find fingerling potatoes, so I used small Ruby Red potatoes instead. I rosted them in... a pan on the gas grill, and the blanket of salt on top became a crust in 1 hour. Whenever the oven was being used, I could make these on the grill and leave them alone - serving them when the rest of the dinner was ready. You gotta like salt - and I used more herbs than Tyler called for for extra flavor. Simple and yummy for all.Read more
