Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound small red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 6 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters, ensuring each piece is about 1 inch in size for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the seasoning marinade.
Add the partially cooked potatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
Thread the seasoned potato pieces onto the skewers, ensuring a small amount of space between each piece for even grilling.
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 cooked through.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Allow them to cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Skewered Grilled Red Potatoes as a flavorful side dish with your favorite grilled main course!
