Potatoes in a Salt Crust

Ingredients

• 500 g small waxy potatoes
• 2 tbsp coarse sea salt
• 3 stems coriander

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash or brush the potatoes thoroughly in cold water.

2. 2.

   Place the potatoes in a pot and cover them halfway with water. Sprinkle sea salt over them.

3. 3.

   Fold a kitchen towel between the pot rim and lid, then bring the potatoes to a boil covered. Cook for 20 minutes on medium heat.

4. 4.

   While the potatoes are cooking, wash coriander, shake off excess water, pluck the leaves and chop them.

5. 5.

   Drain most of the water and continue cooking uncovered until the remaining liquid evaporates; the potatoes shrink and form the characteristic salt crust.

6. 6.

   Sprinkle the potatoes with coriander and serve immediately.
