9 cups coarse sea salt
1 1/2 pounds small-medium, yellow, waxy potatoes, such as German Butterball, Yukon Gold or Carola
1/2 cup mascarpone
1 small bunch chives, chopped (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread half the salt in a medium baking dish. Place potatoes on top of salt, then bury completely with remaining salt. Bake potatoes until tender, 45-60 minutes. Remove potatoes from salt, brushing off any excess, and transfer to a serving dish. Let cool slightly. Gently split potatoes and spoon mascarpone into centers. Sprinkle with chives. Serve with more mascarpone on the side.
