Salt Roasted Potatoes

While the recipe does produce delicious, salt roasted potatoes, I prefer a newer method, where potatoes are quickly dipped into a salt solution of 1/2 cup water and 2 Tabl. salt.  The potatoes are then baked at 450 degrees F for 45 mins. to 1 hour (depending on size), then removed from the oven, brushed with veg. oil, and returned to the oven for 10 mins.  This method produces 3 benefits.  First, is saves on a lot of salt that would otherwise go to waste.  Second, the last 10 mins. in the oven brushed with oil transforms the potato's exterior to a beautifully burnished potato skin. Third, I  find that the higher heat creates a creamier, flakier, potato.  I would rate this recipe 3 1/2 stars if I could.<br />
