Bonfire-roasted New Potatoes

• 450 g (1 lb) new potatoes, well washed
• 4 banana shallots, unpeeled

I like to cook these aromatic potato parcels in the embers of the bonfire on Guy Fawkes night but they are also very good cooked on a barbecue.

Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, add the potatoes and shallots and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, then drain well. Place in a bowl, season with sea salt and black pepper and add the olive oil and rosemary.
