Well, what could be simpler than potatoes cooked in a uniform, isn’t it? So did the workers of the salt factory from the city of Syracuse in New York State, known for its salt springs. The shifts at the factory were long, the work was physically difficult and the workers needed a simple and high-calorie lunch. Therefore, they brought raw potatoes with them to the factory, and half an hour before lunch they threw them into vats with boiling saline solution. The result was a delicious, tender potato, with the taste of baked, covered with a thin salt crust and creamy inside. Over time, this simple dish has become a local delicacy. Try it, it’s very very tasty! I think that potatoes, salt and water will be found in every house!
