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
Directions
Step 1
Clean the new potatoes and scrub away any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Thread the parboiled potatoes onto skewers, spacing them slightly apart for even cooking.
Step 6
Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously over the skewered potatoes, making sure they are well-coated on all sides.
Step 7
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill.
Step 8
Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through.
Step 9
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the potatoes for a bright, zesty finish.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
