Smoky new potatoes

Cut the potatoes in half, keep them whole, or if you want them more thoroughly coated in the paprika butter, cut into thick slices and boil for slightly less time than stated here.

SERVES 4 PREP 5 mins COOK 30 mins EASY V

800g new potatoes, halved

½ tsp smoked paprika

25g butter

1 small garlic clove, crushed

1 Tip the potatoes into a large pan of salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5-8 mins until just cooked through, then drain. Return to the pan.

2 While the potatoes are still steaming, toss in the paprika, butter, crushed garlic and a large pinch of salt, then serve. Or, for added smokiness, tip the potatoes onto a large piece of foil or into a flameproof pan. Scrunch the foil to create a parcel that’s open at the top, then sit it on the side of the barbecue in indirect heat so the potatoes sizzle in the butter. If the barbecue has a lid, close it and cook the potatoes for 15-20 mins until starting to turn golden (this adds smoky flavour – don’t worry, the potatoes will not overcook), then serve from the parcel or pan.
