Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb new potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 lemon
- 4 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Clean the new potatoes and scrub away any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Parboil the potatoes for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Thread the parboiled potatoes onto skewers, spacing them slightly apart for even cooking.
Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously over the skewered potatoes, making sure they are well-coated on all sides.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill.
Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through.
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the potatoes for a bright, zesty finish.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
