Potato skewers are a delicious and healthy snack option that can be enjoyed any time of the year. Grilled with fresh herbs, they offer a perfect combination of flavor and nutrition. This recipe is easy to prepare and great for gatherings or a quick snack at home.
Ingredients Needed
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh herbs: rosemary, thyme, parsley (chopped)
- Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Preparation Steps
Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped herbs. Toss the potato cubes in this mixture until well coated.
Thread the coated potato cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even grilling. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these herb-infused grilled potato skewers hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. They pair well with a side of sour cream or a light yogurt dip. For a vegetarian main dish, add grilled vegetables or a salad on the side.
