Recipe - Crusty Puffed Potatoes

4 small Red potatoes
1 teaspoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Coarse salt

Preheat oven to 475F.

Rinse potatoes and dry well with paper towels. Rub potatoes with oil.
Cut each potato in half and sprinkle cut sides with salt. Put
potatoes on a baking rack and let stand 10 minutes so salt can draw
some water out of potatoes. Bake potatoes on the baking rack (not on
a baking sheet) on middle rack of oven until cooked through, about 20
minutes. Increase temperature to 500F. and bake potatoes until puffed
and golden, about 5 minutes more.

Serves 2.
