Twice Baked Outdoor BBQ Baby Potatoes
Posted on February 24, 2008
2 lbs baby potatoes, pre-cooked
butter
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
If you need to par-boil these potatoes first, place them in a large pan of boiling water and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes. Do NOT peel them, but scrub them if necessary and cut any protruding eyes out.
Drain them well and place them straight on to the BBQ grill/shelf, moving them around all the time with heatproof tongs.
