Method
- Heat your barbecue to high. Wash and scrub the potatoes, then pat completely dry.
- Thread 6 potatoes onto 2 long metal skewers, brush with the olive oil and season with salt.
- Add the skewers to the barbecue, placing towards the edge so that they are over indirect heat. Cover with the barbecue lid. Cook for 30-40 mins, turning halfway through, until crispy and dark golden brown. Slice open and load up with the toppings of your choice.
- Tips: While your potatoes are cooking, prepare a few different toppings so you can set up a baked potato bar for everyone to help themselves. These simple ideas all just need to be stirred together with a drizzle of olive oil
- Tip: Olive salsa – chopped green and black olives, toasted pine nuts and lemon juice.
- Tip: Sweetcorn salsa – tinned sweetcorn, finely chopped spring onions, lime juice and fresh coriander.
- Tip: Tzatziki – grated cucumber, Greek yogurt and chopped mint.
- Tip: Italian-style tomato topping – finely chopped tomatoes, crushed garlic and basil.
- Tip: Feta and pepper – crumbled feta cheese and finely sliced roasted red peppers from a jar.
