Barbecued potatoes with tarragon, peanuts and chipotle recipe
The dressing for this dish is unusual – smoky chilli peanuts combined with tarragon – and somewhat addictive, especially when paired with crisp barbecued potatoes. You could easily use this as a dressing for grilled sweetcorn or mushrooms.
Tip: if you have time, you can leave out the boiling stage and just cook the potatoes on the barbecue, in which case they will take about 1 hour.
