How To Marinate spiced Baby Potatoes

• Try soaking your baby potatoes in a mixture of 1 cup lemon juice to 1-quart water for 15 minutes. This will help tenderize them, soften their texture, and impart tangy flavor.
• Once you’ve removed your potatoes from the water, put them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
• Next, marinate your baby potato with your choices of seasoning or spices. But best to marinate with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, BBQ sauce, tangy spices, and herbs.
• Make the skewers with baby potato, and let it marinate for 30 minutes, keep in the refrigerator.

Grilling Baby Potatoes

Baby potatoes are an excellent alternative to grilled full-sized potatoes because they no need to peel the skin after the grill or before cooking.

To ensure your baby potato skewers turn outright, you’ll want to grill them whole evenly on all sides. This is best done in one of two ways: either by roasting or grilling.

Grilling spiced potatoes is more easily accessible than roasting. Additionally, grilling provides tenderness and gorgeous color to the potatoes that are just being born.

Whichever way you go, make sure that each side of each potato gets equal time in contact with heat—especially if you opt for grilling whole baby potatoes, which will cook faster than sliced varieties.

Serving Grilled Baby Potato skewers

Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. It can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Serve over skewers.

Choose the potatoes

Baby potatoes are perfect for skewering. They are smaller than regular potatoes, making them easier to handle while grilling, and they take longer to cook, so you have more time to prepare your other skewered items without over-cooking your potatoes.

In addition, their thin skin means that if you plan on grilling them (as opposed to boiling or baking), you don’t have to worry about peeling first—the skin will come off easily after grilling!

Lastly, baby potatoes come in various colors—purple/blue, yellow, red/pink/white, orange—which means that they look great together on a serving platter.

The grilled baby potatoes pairs with other roasted vegetables and even fruit for a pretty extra presentation.
