Smoky Spanish Potatoes

Crisp, smokey, with a touch of citrus, these Spanish potatoes are a great side dish or as an appetiser with drinks. As you spear your fork into the crisp shell you can just imagine sitting watching the sun set as you enjoy a cold beer in San Sebastián

Notes

  • You want a starchy potato. I tend to buy the large ones that are designed for roasting as they have a nice skin that crisps well and and once cooked have a fluffy inside. Sebago, Russet and Maris Piper will all work
