Salt % for potatoes

David_Tan_1347771

Hey guys!

So general rule of thumb for salting beef for cooking seems to start at 1% by weight and finishes around 2# for serving.

I also hear a lot that potatoes can take a lot of salt so I’m curious if anyone has a rough % of how much salt per weight of potatoes would make it well seasoned.

I guess its going to depend a bit on taste and method of cooking, but when i make mashed potatoes, i use between .7-1% by weight. When I'm roasting potatoes, i just eyeball it, a few light sprinklings as I'm cooking them.
