Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Wash and scrub the baby red potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger than bite-sized, cut them in half or quarters to ensure uniform cooking.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and parboil them for 6-8 minutes until they are just fork-tender but not fully cooked. Drain and let them cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the parboiled potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C).
Thread the marinated potatoes onto the skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each potato for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown with a slight char and fully tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
