Squeezed Potatoes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in cold water and bring to a boil.

  2. Cook until soft enough to pierce with a fork, then turn off the heat.

  3. Add a little coarse sea salt and dry the potatoes on the stove.

  4. Quickly remove the skins and wrap each potato in a dry, hot towel, twisting tightly for a second.

  5. Serve hot in a napkin-lined dish.
