How to Make Barbecue Potato Kabobs

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning.
  2. 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.
  3. Cut green pepper, sweet onion, and pineapple into 1-inch chunks.
  4. 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.
  5. Repeat step 4 until all ingredients are used. Thread any leftover pieces onto a separate skewer.
  6. Cover exposed wooden ends of skewers with aluminum foil to prevent burning during grilling.
  7. Lightly brush each kebab with 1 teaspoon of vegetable or olive oil.
  8. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of your favorite BBQ seasoning (see tip below). Sprinkle evenly over the kebabs.
  9. Grill or broil over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly browned and heated through.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
