Foil baked potatoes

Try wrapping whole potatoes in foil for a tasty potato treat on the barbecue.

All you need is a number of potatoes all much the same size so they will cook evenly.  Allow at least one potato per person.

1. Scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt, but leave the skin on.  Cut or tear the foil into squares  large enough to wrap each potato individually
2. Coat the inside of the foil with cooking oil and place each potato in the centre of the foil and roll up the foil around the potato.  You can season with herbs, salt and pepper before wrapping them up if you want to
3. Seal the edges by folding the excess foil over the potato
4. Place the potatoes on the barbecue grill and turn regularly until cooked.  Depending on the size of the potatoes, these can take from 15 – 30 minutes to cook.
5. Test with a metal skewer or thin bladed knife to check if the potatoes are cooked.  Alternatively, gently squeeze the potatoes – they will be soft when cooked
6. To serve, open the top of the foil and cut a cross in the top of the potato.  Squeeze the potato  to open it up and spoon a dollop of yoghurt, cream or butter into the fluffy cooked potato.
7. Garnish with parsley, basil leaves or sprinkle with paprika
