How to Make Barbecue Potato Kabobs
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning.
- Prepare the potatoes: If using canned potatoes, drain well. If using fresh new potatoes, parboil until barely tender (about 5-7 minutes). Cut into 1-inch chunks.
- Cut green pepper, sweet onion, and pineapple into 1-inch chunks.
- Assemble the kebabs: Thread one piece each of green pepper, potato, onion, and pineapple onto each skewer, repeating until the skewer is full. End with a piece of green pepper.
- Repeat step 4 until all ingredients are used. Thread any leftover pieces onto a separate skewer.
- Cover exposed wooden ends of skewers with aluminum foil to prevent burning during grilling.
- Lightly brush each kebab with 1 teaspoon of vegetable or olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of your favorite BBQ seasoning (see tip below). Sprinkle evenly over the kebabs.
- Grill or broil over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly browned and heated through.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
