STEAK AND POTATO KEBABS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Put the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave until just tender, about 5 minutes. Toss the beef with the olive oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Thread the beef, potatoes and asparagus onto eight 10-inch skewers.

BARBECUE POTATO KABOBS

Steps:

• Prepare wooden skewers by soaking them for an hour or so before using (I lay them flat in a glass casserole dish and cover them with water).
• Skewer the kebabs as follows; piece of green pepper, one canned potato, one chunk onion, one chunk pineapple; repeat until skewer is full, ending with green pepper.
• Repeat skewering until ingredients are used up.
• Skewer odd leftover pieces on a skewer too.
• After skewering, cover any open wooden ends that are showing with foil paper before barbecuing, to prevent the wood from burning.
• Lightly brush each kebab on all sides with vegetable or olive oil.
• Mix seasonings together and sprinkle over kebabs.
• Grill or broil over medium heat until heated through, about 5 or 6 minutes or until done to your taste.

ULTIMATE ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• Peel 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).
• Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
• Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
• Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.
• Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
• Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat - they will sizzle as they go in - then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
• Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
• Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
• Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
• Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.
