Ingredients

  • 2 cups kosher salt
  • fresh coarse ground black pepper (3 turns)
  • 4 fresh rosemary sprigs, ripped in pieces

  2. Pour the oil into a large cast iron skillet and set over medium-high flame or charcoal grill.
  3. When the oil reaches a slight smoke, add the potatoes in a single layer and fry until they get nice and crackled on all sides.

  5. Break open the crust to serve.
