Ingredients

  • 500g new potatoes
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary or two tablespoons fresh chopped rosemary
  • 5 cloves garlic smashed into a paste
  • A pinch of red chilli powder or paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Steps

  1. Whisk the marinade ingredients together and set aside.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the new potatoes for about ten minutes. They are ready when you can stick a fork in easily but with a little resistance.
  3. Remove from the water to cool.
  4. Place the new potatoes in the marinade and marinate for about an hour. Longer won't hurt.
  5. When ready to grill, light your charcoal and wait until it is white hot as pictured.
  6. If using skewers, carefully skewer the potatoes and place over the heat. They can also be cooked on a grill.
  7. Be sure to rotate often until very tender and charred on the exterior. It's difficult to overcook a potato It's better to cook them too much than not enough. No one likes a hard potato.:-)
  8. Check for seasoning and paste with some of the remaining marinade.
