The article discusses the high-Sodium technique used to create the perfect potato, a technique that involves combining potatoes, salt, and water. The formula is straightforward and involves combining six cups of cold water with one cup of kosher salt and cooking them until they are fork-tender, allowing them to sit in the brine for another five to ten minutes. This creates a fine, white salt crust on the potatoes, which draws out moisture to enhance their flavor. The author then adds a unique spice mix from a restaurant called There, There in Providence, Rhode Island, using a combination of black peppercorns, herbs de Provence, and dill seeds before grinding them with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and even more salt. The salt-crusted potato was praised for its intense flavor and contrasting the crispy interior with the creamy interior.
