Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are just fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them as they need to stay firm enough to skewer.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Once cooled, slice larger potatoes in half, keeping smaller ones whole to ensure similar sizes for even grilling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until a smooth marinade forms.
Add the cooked potatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
While the potatoes are marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated potatoes onto the skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each piece for the heat to circulate evenly.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, rotating occasionally to ensure they're golden brown and slightly charred on all sides.
Transfer the grilled potato skewers to a serving platter and sprinkle them with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer and enjoy the delicious Mediterranean flavors!
