500g new potatoes (waxy)
Fresh bay leaves
1 handful of parsley (flat-leaf)
1 handful of basil
1 garlic clove
juice of ½ lemon

Clean the potatoes then put them in a pan of lightly salted water. Bring this to the boil and cook for about 5 minutes until they are almost cooked through. Drain and let the cool.
Once cooled, cut them in half and put a bay leaf between them then thread them onto metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers. Barbecue them on medium heat until lightly charred.
