Salt-Crusted Baked Potatoes

Salt-Crusted Baked Potatoes

4 large baking potatoes, about 1/2 pound each
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup Sea Salt

Preheat oven to 400. Prick potatoes all over with the tines of a fork. Beat the egg white and water together in a shallow dish until frothy. Place the sea salt in another shallow dish. Roll each potato in the egg white mixture to coat completely and then roll in the salt to coat lightly all over. Arrange the potatoes in a shallow, foil-lined baking pan.

Bake the potatoes until tender when pierced with the tip of a small paring knife, about 1 hour. Slit the potatoes open, embellish with favorite toppings, and serve at once. SERVES 4.
