Ingredients

  • 6 large floury potatoes (like Maris Piper)
  • 2-3 sprigs of rosemary
  • 250g butter
  • Splash of milk

Method

  1. Carefully score a hemisphere around the potatoes. This makes it easier to take the skins
  2. off later.
  3. Wrap the potatoes tightly with good quality tinfoil ensuring the dull side of the foil is
  4. facing out for maximum heat absorption.
  5. Leave on the direct side of your bbq (over the coals) and cook until fork tender (around one hour).
  6. When the potatoes have cooked and have cooled slightly remove from the foil and peel.
  7. Char some rosemary over the coals for about 30 seconds, and remove the leaves from
  8. the stem.
  9. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and mix in the charred rosemary leaves.
  10. In a bowl, mash the potatoes and mix with the rosemary butter. Use some warm milk.
  11. for an extra creamy mash.
