SEA SALT CRUSTED BAKED POTATOES
This is Kaye's recipe. It is quick and easy and by cooking the potatoes uncovered, the sea salt and olive oil create a nice crust that keeps the potatoes from drying out. The result is a very soft creamy potato. A loaded baked potato makes a great meal. Enjoy, Sam!

Steps:
- 1. PREHEAT oven to 400 bake
- 2. SCRUB the potatoes. Mix extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and pepper in a bowl. Roll the potatoes in the mixture. Place the potatoes on a foil lined cookie sheet. (The foil lining makes the cleanup a lot easier). Pour the remaining mixture on top of the potatoes and rub the top each potato until evenly coated. Do not cover the potatoes.
- 3. COOK in preheated 400 degree oven on the center rack for 1 hr 15 min. Move the rack up to the 2nd setting from top of oven and cook 15 min.
- 4. FOR CONVECTION OVENS-Preheat 425. Bake center rack 55 minutes. Raise rack to 2nd setting from top and cook 15 minutes. This will save you 20 minutes cooking time!
- 5. REMOVE from oven and serve hot with the cheese, sour cream, butter and green onion.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 °F.
- Pierce each potato 3-4 times with the tines of a fork.
- Coat each one well in canola oil, then sprinkle heavily with flaked sea salt all over. You need to get a good crust of salt. Place on a wire baking rack in the middle of a baking tray and place the potatoes on top.
- Bake in the oven for 60-75 minutes or until they are fork tender. Remove and cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- To serve, once they are warm cut a slit lengthwise down the top of the potato, not cutting to the very end however. Take your fingers and place on either side of the potato and push the ends in towards each other to "pop" the center open ( it will look like a restaurant potato now!)
- Serve with butter and pepper, or any and all toppings!

SALT-CRUSTED FINGERLING POTATOES
This is a delicious appetizer that can be cooked in a few minutes, adapted from a dish served by José Andrés at The Bazaar, his restaurant in Los Angeles. Over several visits, I enjoyed his extravagant treats, like the sticks of foie gras wrapped in cotton candy and the crispy cones filled with cauliflower cream and American caviar, but the dish I kept thinking about was "Salty Wrinkled Potatoes." He flies in potatoes from Cape Verde. I pick up fingerling potatoes from our local farmers' market and can't tell the difference. Select the smallest fingerlings you can find.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes, water, and Kosher salt into a pot and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. With a wooden skewer, test to see if they are tender. Pour off most of the water, reserving as much salt as possible.
- Lower the heat and keep a watchful eye on the potatoes. The goal is to let the water evaporate so the potatoes are coated in salt. Be careful not to burn the salt or the potatoes. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes, then remove the potatoes and let cool.
- Use a kitchen towel to wipe the excess salt off each potato, leaving only a light dusting of salt on each. Clean the potatoes one by one so the skins don't break.
- To make the dipping sauce, start by putting the garlic cloves on a skewer. Char them on an open flame. Brush off the blackened skins and roughly chop. Place the parsley and cilantro leaves, the roasted garlic, black pepper, and olive oil into a mini-blender and puree to a smooth consistency.
- Pour the sauce into a small bowl. Serve the potatoes and sauce at room temperature.

RED LOBSTER SALT CRUSTED BAKED POTATOES
This has long been a specialty of mine. These potatoes are versatile. They can be wrapped in foil or left exposed. They can be baked using convection or a regular oven. You might even try the microwave. I added those directions at the end. These potatoes will come out very tender, full of flavor and oh so yummy. You might choose to eat them with nothing but butter on top, as my husband does. These potatoes are even hearty enough to replace meat as your main dish at supper. They will also be pretty enough to serve to company. I have had so many comments that these are identical to the Red Lobster potatoes that I had to try the ones at RL. I agree they are similar, but mine seem more flavorful. I think I put on more salt and end up with a drier, crisper skin.

Steps:
- Scrub the potatoes well, rinse and allow to drip dry. Leave them whole and do not peel the skin.
- Preheat oven to (convection) 325 degrees or (regular) 350 degrees.
- Pour oil onto one small plate and salt onto another.
- Place an ungreased cookie sheet next to the plates.
- One by one, roll the potatoes in the olive oil. Allow excess to drip onto plate.
- Roll potato lightly in sea salt. You can rub the salt over the potato to spread it evenly. Do not oversalt (ie cover the whole potato). If you run out of salt, simply add more to the plate.
- Lay the potatoes on the cookie sheet. Drizzle any remaining olive oil over the potatoes. Use a fork to poke holes across the top of each potato to allow heat to vent.
- Place the cookie sheet on the middle rack of your oven. Allow to bake for 1 hour. Test with a fork. When potatoes are tender and the fork easily slides in, take them out and serve.
- Other baking option: You can try wrapping each potato tightly in foil instead of using a baking sheet. Just be very careful about steam burns when unwrapping the foil after baking.
- Microwave option: Wrap each potato tightly in a paper towel and place on a microwave-safe plate. Set the microwave to full power for 12 minutes. Check for doneness and continue at 2 minute intervals until tender. Note: I have not tried this method, but this is how long my microwave takes for 4 potatoes on its 'Potato' auto-setting.
