These puffed, skin-on roasted potatoes need just two ingredients: potatoes and salt, with no oil. Cut the unpeeled potatoes into four to six wedges, salt the cut sides generously, and let them sit briefly. Then toss them on the baking sheet to spread the released starch over the skins as well. The well-salted cut sides puff up nicely as they roast at 200°C (400°F).

Serve them as a side dish or on their own with a pat of butter and a dill pickle.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Leave the potatoes unpeeled. Wash and dry them, then cut each into 4–6 wedges, depending on its size.
Sprinkle the cut sides with salt and let stand briefly. Toss the potatoes thoroughly on a baking sheet to spread the released starch over the skins as well.
Be sure to salt the cut sides generously so the potatoes puff up during roasting.
Transfer the potatoes to a wire rack and place in an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F).
Roast for about 1 hour, or until nicely browned and puffed.
Serve the potatoes on their own if desired. Tip: Before serving, brush them with melted butter or lard mixed with 1 clove of garlic.

Tip: Since you'll be eating the skins, scrub the potatoes thoroughly with a brush under running water before cutting them, and cut away any green areas and sprouts.
