Greek Baby Potato Kabobs

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Plan ahead the potatoes need to marinate for at least 2 hours, baby white potatoes work well also --- make certain to soak your bamboo skewers in cold water at least 30 minutes before placing the potatoes on --- try to use good size baby potatoes for this as you will need to slice them in half and make certain that they are all pretty much the same size for even cooking --- I have listed garlic powder, you may use fresh minced but I find that the fresh garlic tends to burn somewhat during the grilling, the choice is yours :)"

Not enough flavor; I followed the recipe exactly. I even tried half of them the next day after they had been sitting in the marinade overnight. :(

My DD made these super easy great tasting potatoes for dinner tonight. She did have to end up finishing them off in the oven as a severe thunderstorm hit and it suddenly began to pour rain. She also halved the recipe. Made for the "HOT. SPICY AND TASTY JUNE Event"

Wonderfully clear instructions; wonderfully flavoursome potatoes. I scaled this back a bit for four, and pan-fried them in an electic frypan and they were just SO delicious. I did follow all the marinating instructions exactly. I'm sure that they'd taste even better BBQ'd. Thanks for sharing another great recipe, KITTENCAL! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

What a great way to grill potatoes! Brushing with butter at the end really was the icing on the cake for these already tasty tidbits... YUM!
