Ingredients

• 2 lbs Baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or fingerling)
• 4 cups Coarse kosher salt
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Spread the coarse kosher salt evenly in a baking dish large enough to hold the potatoes in a single layer. This will create a heat-retaining bed for the potatoes to roast on.

Step 3

Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. No need to peel them as the skins will become wonderfully crisp during baking.

Step 4

Nestle the potatoes into the salt, ensuring they are each well supported and not stacked on top of one another.

Step 5

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of a potato meets little resistance.

Step 6

While the potatoes are roasting, melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the chopped parsley, rosemary, black pepper, and olive oil. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the baking dish, brushing off any excess salt from the skins. Discard the used salt.

Step 8

Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving bowl. Drizzle the melted butter and herb mixture over the hot potatoes, tossing gently to coat evenly.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy the crispy-skinned, tender potatoes as a side dish or snack!
