Potatoes baked on salt, with sour cream sauce

4 servings

40 minutes

Salt-baked potatoes are a traditional Russian dish that combines simplicity and depth of flavor. The salt creates a natural thermal barrier, evenly heating the potatoes and retaining their moisture inside while giving a thin crispy crust. The sour cream sauce with garlic and mayonnaise adds tenderness and a hint of spiciness, highlighting the natural sweetness of the baked potatoes. This dish pairs well with meat and vegetable sides and can also serve as a standalone treat. Its roots trace back to the traditions of Russian village cuisine, where baked potatoes have always symbolized simplicity and the coziness of family gatherings.
