By Chef Mansoor | Flavour Bazar There is a texture paradox at the heart of great Garlic Herb Grilled Potatoes. You want a shell that crackles between your teeth—a caramelized, almost glassy crust with charred edges—yielding instantly to an interior as fluffy and cloud-like as the finest baked potato. Most grilled potatoes fail because they…
