Background

This super easy BBQ new potatoes with bay leaves is perfect for summer parties. You can make the pre-boiling ahead - barbecuing them only takes 10 minutes. Then, you can serve them immediately, perhaps with some herby butter, or use them for a potato salad.

Ingredients

450 new potatoes
Bay leaves
Salt
Olive oil
Minced garlic, chilli flakes (optional)

Instructions

Rinse and scrub the potatoes, then put them in a pan of lightly salted water. Bring the water to the boil and cook for 5 more minutes. The potatoes should not be cooked through completely.
Drain the potatoes, then let them cool in a colander. When cooled, you can rest them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to barbecue or grill them, or carry on with the recipe immediately.
Preheat your BBQ to medium.
Cut the potatoes in half and brush them with a little olive oil. Season to taste. You could add some minced garlic or chilli flakes to the olive oil, if preferred.
Push about 5 potatoes (10 halves) onto a metal skewer, cutting sides facing each other with a bay leaf between them, like a sandwich.
Put the skewers onto the BBQ and grill for about 10 minutes until crispy and tender, turning them regularly.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
