  • This might take a little longer. Test with a skewer or fork to see if they are done.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool and skewer them through the middle with your skewers. 3-4 per skewer.
  • Brush the potatoes with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, salt
  • Grill on the BBQ until they are charred a little on each side, a little crispy and delicious looking.

For the salsa

  • Finely chop the herbs.
    2 tablespoon fresh dill, 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, 2 tablespoon fresh mint
  • Roughly chop the capers.
    3 tablespoon fresh capers
  • Combine the herbs and capers with the juice and zest of the lemon
    1 lemon
  • Add olive oil and stir.
    2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Serve the potatoes warm or cold with the salsa spooned over them.

Notes

You can boil the potatoes ahead of time, then finish off on the grill. 
Make extra salsa to add to other BBQ veggies! It also keeps well in the fridge for up to a week.
