Grilled Potato Skewers Recipe

By

These grilled potato skewers are a delicious side dish for just about any meal off the barbecue!

Warmer months mean grilling outdoors. So many great dishes come off the barbecue and totally help us enjoy this sunny, bright and cheery time of year. Potatoes are an excellent grilling food. Particularly, the small, fingerling potatoes. They roast really well and don’t take much time at all to cook.

WHY COOK ON SKEWERS

The first reason, is that it’s fun. I’m not sure why, but food on sticks is always a crowd pleaser for guests and family alike. Second, they allow us to evenly cook our food and easily rotate it on the grill without spatulas or tongs. (Although you may want a pot holder!). And finally, food on skewers just seems to taste better. Maybe it’s the smaller, bite-sized chunks or maybe it’s the constant rotation on the grill. I’m not sure. But something about it just tastes delicious!

GRILLING TIPS FOR POTATO SKEWERS

  • No matter what type of skewers you use, a rack to rest them on while cooking is a critical component. It will keep them from burning.
  • Remember to rotate your skewers every 5-10 minutes to get them browned on all sides and avoid burning.
  • These are fun to serve on the skewers, just make sure you cool them down first!

My skewer set is an old one passed down to me from my mom. I searched and searched, but I could not find another like it. So I then looked for an alternative and found this handy little contraption! I love the wooden handle and the skewers look easy to rotate (with a pot holder!) So if you need skewer set, this is a good one to get!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fingerling potatoes

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev
