Papas Arrugadas (Wrinkled Potatoes)

Ingredients:
potatoes, raw, skin
salt, table
oil, olive, salad or cooking

Directions:
Put the potatoes and salt in a large pot or pan, add just enough water to cover the potatoes.
Place over a high heat, bring to the boil and cook for 20 minutes or until soft.
Use the lid of the pot or plate to drain most of the water from the potatoes, retaining about a wine glassful.
Place the potatoes back on a low heat with just a small amount of water and reduce the water down gently stirring the potatoes so they don't burn.
As the water evaporators a crust of salt should form on the bottom of the pot surrounding the potatoes.
Using the bottom of a flat glass gently squash each potato just enough to crack the skin.
Place the potatoes in an oven proof dish drizzle with a splash of olive oil and place them in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
(Gas mark 6)
And serve.
