Add half of the remaining leeks on the potatoes followed by half of the garlic, cheese, parsley, cream and Italian spices. Add a small drizzle of olive oil then generously season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the rest of the potatoes, always overlaying them a bit, then add the rest of the ingredients in the same order as the last step.
  • Add a small drizzle of olive oil, season with salt and pepper one again then close the sides of the papillote. Add a layer of foil on top then close tightly.
  • Place on the bbq and cook for 35-40 minutes or until potatoes are well cooked! Let cool down 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
