Tips & Tricks

Flavour Combos:

• Simple: Salt & Pepper
• Greek: Lemon, Garlic, Oregano
• Italian: Garlic & Rosemary
• Bombay: Curry Paste then fresh Coriander to finish
• Smokey: Smoked Paprika, Garlic, Onion Powder

Tips:

• Save yourself a load of faff and leave the skins on!
• You can use any potato really, even tinned!! The beauty of tinned potatoes is that you don’t have to par-boil them first. Try it and thank me later!
• Wait until the BBQ flames have died down a little so you don’t scorch the spuds.
