Hay Smoked potatoes

• armful of hay
• 200g seasalt
• 4 medium baked potatoes

Place the hay in your sink and pour over a kettle of boiling water.

Take half of it and scatter over the bottom of a roasting tray.

Scatter over half the salt and nuzzle the potatoes into the hay.

Top with the remaining hay and salt.

Place a piece of parchment on top and then seal the top with tin foil.

Bake in a 180oc oven for about an hour or until potatoes are fork tender. Remove the tin foil and cook for a further 10 minutes to colour. Don't do this if you have a gas oven as there's chance the hay might ignite – remove potatoes and place on a clean tray to colour.

Brush with melted butter.

Split open and smear with some of the dulse butter ( the rest can be frozen)
