Are Salt Baked Potatoes really worth their salt? With the help of a few expert recipes, a boatload of salt and one very curious Potato Popper, I put salt baking to the test with Idaho Potatoes. Watch the How to Make Salt Baked Potatoes Video and see for yourself!

love it! i adore salt potatoes! I baked beets the way once and they were divine, too. :-) YUM!
Valentina! I saw your beautiful recipe for Salt Potatoes http://cookingontheweekends.com/2011/08/salt-potatoes-with-fresh-dill-and-mascarpone/ — I definitely want to try boiling them next :) I bet beets would be out of this world.
in the absence of a potatoe tool I’m using a plastic bag putting the potatoe in it after cooking, wrapping a thick towel around the potatoe then squeezing/massaging the potatoe till soft not breaking the skin, placing the potato on a plate and opening a top place in the skin over which I pour a dressing, butter, sour cream, or even flavored water.
Sounds like a great plan! Using a fork in place of the popper helps too! Enjoy :)
