Chef's tip

delicious. tips: Get ahead of time by mashing together the garlic, chives, butter, and some salt and black pepper. Chill until needed. You could also try threading the cooked potatoes onto skewers and cook over hot coals for 5-10 minutes, until crispy. Dot with the garlic butter to serve.
