Method

  1. Bring Potatoes to a boil covered with water and simmer until almost fork tender, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. Drain most of the water leaving behind about an inch.

  3. Continue cooking the potatoes until the water has evaporated, swirling the pot often to coat each potato evenly.

  4. The potatoes should be coated with a crust of salt at this point.

  5. Crush the potatoes and serve them warm, with Aioli and Romesco, and garnish with parsley.
