Ingredients

  • Potatoes
  • Lard or another fat
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. 1
    Select potatoes of similar size—around 250 grams each.
  2. 2
    Wash potatoes well and cut out any bad parts. Do not peel.
  3. 3
    Cut every potato in two halves, in the direction that will produce the thinnest halves.
  4. 4
    Put ¼ to ½ tsp of salt onto the flat side of one half, and rub both halves together, so that they are both salted.
  5. 5
    Place the potatoes onto a greased pan, flat side down, and into the oven preheated to 220°C. The potatoes should be baked after 45 minutes. The flat sides should form a tasty orange crust.
  6. 6
    Serve hot. The potatoes can be peeled by hand while eating or eaten unpeeled.
