These are the potatoes you should cook on the BBQ. Soft potatoes, smashed and grilled until they are golden and crispy on the outside, seasoned with salt and topped with grated Parmesan. Perfect alongside some grilled meat and vegetables or salad.
Ingredients
- 1kg baby potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 40g (½ cup) grated parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1: Par-cook the potatoes
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Season with salt and place over a high heat.
- Bring to the boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and drain well.
Step 2: Barbecue the potatoes
Preheat the flat plate on the BBQ and drizzle over half the oil.
- Place the whole potatoes on the plate in a single layer then cover with a large piece of baking paper. Squash the potatoes down with a protein press to about 1cm thick. Remove the paper and season with salt, then drizzle with the rest of the oil.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp and brown, then turn over and cook the other side. Transfer to a serving bowl and grate over the parmesan.
Recipe notes
Cook Support
If you do not have a protein press, then use a heavy frying pan to squash down the potatoes.
