Cooking potatoes enclosed in a clay pot gives them a slightly smoky flavour. If you plan an open barbecue over the summer, take along an old potato that you can throw on or in the fire and cook your potatoes this way - delicious!

Ingredients

• 750 grams baby new season potatoes, scrubbed
• 4 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin or lemon scented is nice here)
• 6 cloves garlic, crushed
• 3 large sprigs fresh tarragon
• 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt or ½ teaspoon iodised salt

Method

1. Place the potatoes in a well-soaked clay potato pot or casserole and toss with the oil, garlic, tarragon and salt.
2. Cover with the lid and place in a cold oven, turn the oven to 180ºC and cook for 1-1¼ hours or until potatoes are tender. Serve with sour cream if wished.
