Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C)
In a large mixing combine kosher salt, and water. Mix by hand until fully incorporated. The mixture should resemble packable snow.
On a baking tray lay down some of your salt mixture. Enough area to cradle the potatoes. Then place the potatoes into the salt.
Encase the potatoes in the rest of the salt and place into the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes.
Use a mallet to break the salt then crust. Then delicately remove the salt from the potatoes using an offset spatula.
