Fool proof food

By Daina Allen

Serves 4.

750g (1½lb) new potatoes, scrubbed but not peeled 3 tbsp olive oil salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until just tender — 10-15 minutes depending on size. (You could do this the day before if you like). If the potatoes are large, cut them in half, but if small leave whole, toss in the olive oil, salt and black pepper.

Thread onto skewers. Grill over medium coals, turning regularly for about 8-10 minutes depending on size.
