Hey Chum, were you the one telling us about salt potatoes? I think I may have discovered the secret to them, and completely by mistake. I have been eating a lot of taters lately, and when I make them, I quarter them the long way and then boil for 30-40 minutes. I also put a generous amount of pink salt in them while they boil. The mistaken discovery was leaving the taters in the salt water for about 20 minutes after taking them off the heat. It seemed the taters pulled the salt back in, more so than had they been dumped as soon as they were taken off the heat.
Is that the trick to those things? Cause those were awesome!

I only put the salt in when the water comes to a boil but I think your way is how you would find them at the fair or a food truck setting. When they do massive batches they leave them in the water to keep them hot. The skins can be white at some places from the salt. Then liquified butter is dumped over the top. The perfect salt potato is the size of a golf ball. I just read the origin goes back to workers in the salt mines here came up with the idea.
