    Salt Crusted Potatoes

    Salt Crusted Potatoes Salt crusted potatoes are simply amazing! This is my new favorite way to cook potatoes. Potatoes seem boring. Like, there’s only so many ways to dress them up or cook them.

Until I looked it up and decided to give it a try myself.  Being a wife and homemaker, I am always looking to try new things because the same basic recipes get really boring after a while.
