Potato skewers

These potato skewers make the perfect side dish to serve with anything from fish, chicken, halloumi or tofu. You can prep them in advance to save time at mealtimes and they can be changed to suit your preferences – swap out the seasoning or try different veggies to those listed below.

Method

1. First put your skewers into soak if you are using bamboo ones, this will prevent the skewer from burning.
2. Prepare your potatoes by chopping any larger ones into 2-3cm chunks and steaming them for about 10 minutes, until just tender.
3. While your potatoes steam, prepare the marinade by mixing the olive oil, chopped fresh basil, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper and smoked paprika together in a small bowl.
4. Once the potatoes are steamed, add the marinade and give everything a good mix – leave this to sit for 30 minutes.
5. While the potatoes marinade cut the peppers and shallots into 2-3cm chunks.
6. Thread the veggies and potatoes onto the soaked skewers and cook under the grill or on a BBQ for about 10 minutes or until nicely browned.
