Starchy potatoes absorb fat and oil properly, which is what gives you that golden, crispy crust without the greasy finish. Pick one, or mix two if you're feeding a crowd.

BBQ FAVOURITE
T h e U l t i m a t e B B Q B a k e d P o t a t o
A proper BBQ baked potato with crisp skin and a light, fluffy interior.
Keep the toppings classic but really good: butter, sour cream, chives, sharp cheddar and crispy shallots.
This does not need to become an overloaded or complicated baked potato. The point should be that choosing the right potato and cooking it properly gives you that great contrast between the crisp outside and fluffy centre.
