Instructions

1

Scrub the potatoes (skins can stay on), and cut into thin wedges.

Tip: The flavours in the skin are delicious when roasted, and it holds the wedge together.
2

Mix the oil, BBQ sauce and spices.

Tip: The oil conducts heat, the sauce provides flavour.
3

Toss the potatoes in it to coat evenly.

Tip: It is best to toss by hand.
4

Spread out on a grill tray (don't overlap too much). Cook on the grill (indirect zone or with lid down) for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.

Tip: Indirect heat (not directly over the flame) is important so the inside cooks through without just burning the outside due to the sugary sauce.
5

Meanwhile, toast the coarsely chopped walnuts in a dry pan.

Tip: Just a few minutes until fragrant.
6

When the potatoes are soft and red, sprinkle with the walnuts and parsley.

Tip: The crunch of the walnuts complements the soft potato.
