METHOD

  • Up to day ahead precook potatoes Preheat oven to 180ºC. Place potatoes on an ungreased tray and place in oven to bake for 40-50 minutes or till potatoes are soft.
  • While potatoes are cooking, make Garlic Butter: Melt 30g (2 tbsp) butter in a heavy based frying pan over a medium heat. Add garlic and cook till soft and aromatic (do not allow the garlic to brown). Remove garlic from the pan and chill. Soften remaining butter and place into a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until smooth and creamy. Add garlic with salt and pepper to taste and process until combined. Refrigerate till required.
  • When ready to serve, preheat barbecue hot plate to medium hot. Toss potatoes with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place potatoes onto the barbecue plate and cook for 5-7 minutes, or till brown and crispy looking. Turn potatoes over and cook for a further 5-7 minutes or till hot through.
  • Transfer potatoes to a serving platter and make a cross in the top of each one. Squeeze the potatoes so the potato flesh protrudes from the top and add a dollop of Garlic Butter. Season and serve.
