Method

  1. Wash the potatoes, pierce with a sharp knife and sprinkle with the paprika and lots of flaky sea salt. Wrap, 3 or 4 at a time, in foil and bury in the embers of the bonfire (or see tip). Roast for 1 hour until tender.
  2. Meanwhile make the dips. Mix the soured cream with the rest of the ingredients, season well and set aside. For the salsa, mix all of the ingredients together, check the seasoning and set aside.
  3. Uncover the potatoes carefully from the embers using tongs and place on a baking sheet. Unwrap the parcels and tip into a serving bowl. Serve with the dips to dunk them in.
