Every year growing up we would go to the county fair, our little town would also celebrate it’s founding, and have a day of education and celebrate the river in our town. When I was older, a new local business started coming to these events, and they had salt potatoes. They were delicious and flavorful. My family also had the regular visit from Schwan’s. We bought “baby bakers” from them regularly, because they were also covered with a very similar flavor. Both used small red potatoes for their recipe, but all I usually have is white or russet potatoes, so I make do. I’ve been making these at home for several years, and work great as a side dish for families or parties, since they are so easy to make. Makes 6 side servings.
