Grilled Greek New Potato Skewers

Nif's Note:

A great side dish, especially if you are grilling a meat dish at the same time. If you can't find new potatoes, you can quarter four larger potatoes. Use metal skewers or soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 garlic clove , minced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• 1 pinch hot pepper flakes
• 2 plum tomatoes , quartered
• 1 sweet pepper , yellow or orange prefered for looks (you can use green or red if you want!)

Directions:

1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook potatoes until just tender, about 8 minutes. You no NOT want mushy potatoes! Drain.
2. Meanwhile in large bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Add boiled potatoes, tomatoes and sweet peppers and gently toss to coat.
3. Alternating vegetables, thread each of 4 skewers with 4 potatoes, 2 tomato wedges and 4 pepper chunks. Do not discard remaining oil.
4. Cook on greased grill for 4 to 6 minutes or until potato skins are crisp, turning often and brushing them with remaining oil mixture.

This recipe is absolultely delcious and one I will go to again...and soon. I bought baby red potatoes from the farmer's market and threaded those (1/2 cooked) through w/green and yellow peppers also from the farmer's market. In place of the oregano I used a greek seasoning from McCormick's. The marinade and taste of grill comes through very nicely on this dish.
