How to Cook Potatoes With Pine Resin
Rosin potatoes, sometimes called resin potatoes, were first discovered by Southerners who tapped pine trees and used the pine resin to produce turpentine. Fans of this cooking method say the rosin, a byproduct of resin, brings out the flavors of the spuds, producing the finest baked potato recipe in the South. While this cooking method produces what are often called resin potatoes, rosin, a hardened form of pine resin, is the proper term for the ingredient used in this recipe.
Things You'll Need
- Iron kettle
- Large raw potatoes
- Solid pine rosin (hardened to rock form)
- Heavy brown paper
- Large metal serving spoon with holes
Instructions
-
Place 10 to 25 lbs. of rosin in an iron kettle and heat until the rosin boils.
-
Lower potatoes one by one into the boiling rosin with a metal serving spoon.
-
Boil the potatoes at 275 degrees Fahrenheit until they float to the top of the kettle. Simmer the potatoes for another 30 minutes.
-
Using a metal spoon, remove the potatoes and immediately place them diagonally on a square of heavy brown paper. Wrap the potatoes in the paper and twist the ends to seal.
-
Cut a slit lengthwise along the potato through the heavy brown paper to serve. Eat the inside of the potato, but none of the skin that was in contact with the rosin.
