Ingredients

750g Cornish New potatoes

20ml olive oil

2 tsp smoked paprika

Cornish sea salt flakes

Black pepper

For the BBQ sauce

250ml Aval Dor Cornish Potato Original Vodka

700g tomato ketchup

250ml apple cider vinegar

1/2 tbs garlic powder

1 tbs chilli powder

1 tbs cayenne pepper

100g white sugar

Cornish Sea Salt flakes

1 lemon, juiced

To serve

Chopped spring onions and/or parsley

Method

Wash potatoes and cut into hasselbacks by cutting thin slices ¾ of the way down each potato. You can place the potatoes between the handles of two wooden spoons to help with this.

Add the potatoes to a pan of water, bring to the boil then simmer for 10 -15 minutes until tender.

In the meantime, make the BBQ sauce by add all the ingredients to a pan and simmering gently until it’s thickened and reduced by half.

Drain the hasselbacks then tumble gently in the olive oil and seasoning.

Cook on the BBQ for 10-15 minutes. Near the end of cooking baste the potatoes in the BBQ sauce. The potatoes should open up a little during cooking.

Serve sprinkled with spring onions/parsley.

Tip: Don’t fancy cooking these on the BBQ? Replace Step 5 with roasting the potatoes in a 200°C / Fan 180°C oven or air fryer.
