Potato burnt ends

These potato burnt ends are certainly not a substitute for the real thing, but they are delicious as a snack when you have friends over. They are also a lot quicker to be made.

Pat the potatoes dry with some paper towels. This way, you ensure that they get nice and crispy. Then you pour a little olive oil over it. Just enough to make the dry rub stick. Otherwise, the outside of the potatoes gets soggy.

We use pre-cooked fingerling potatoes. Of course, you could buy fresh potatoes, peel them, cook them and then let them cool down, but this is faster.

We spread the potatoes on a perforated baking tray. This makes them crispy even more quickly. You can place briquettes on 2 sides of the kettle barbecue. This way, you create an oven when you close the lid.

The potatoes are ready for the sauce when they are golden brown and crispy. You could flip them halfway through to see if they are roasted on both sides.

After the potatoes are sauced, you have to keep a close eye on them. You don’t want the sugar in the sauce to burn. The potatoes are ready when the sauce does not stick any more. If the sauce threatens to turn black, remove them.

Serve the potato burnt ends while they are still hot. They are tasty cold, but they quickly become soft when they cool down.
