Red Potato Spiedini
Spiedini comes from Italian word spiedino-a skewer used to cook or grill meat & vegetables.
Rich in fiber, the skins of red potatoes are nutrient packed and easy to prepare. 6 ample servings.
Easy Ingredients:
2 pounds red potatoes
1/2 cup Villa Graziella Organic extra virgin olive oil + extra for drizzling
2 teaspoons Villa Graziella Organic Tuscan herb seasoning blend for vegetables
1/4 teaspoon sea salt + extra to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper, + extra to taste
Wooden skewers soaked in water 30 minutes-2 hours
Simple Directions:
Wash, rinse and dry potatoes, wash, rinse and dry even if pre-packaged.
Place potatoes in a microwave safe dish with ½ cup of water, heat for 3 minutes, stir once, return to microwave, cook additional 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain potatoes set aside to fully cool.
While potatoes cool, combine olive oil and Tuscan herb seasoning blend in a bowl, whisk lightly.
Slice potatoes in 1 ½ inch slices, add potato slices into the bowl with oil mixture.
Add sea salt and pepper, gently toss with your hands, set aside to season 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Thread potato slices on soaked skewers spacing about 1 inch apart, leaving 5 inches on end of skewer free to handle skewers, reserve any remaining oil and seasoning mixture.
Set grill to medium heat, cook uncovered over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side.
Close cover, grill additional 4 minutes, potatoes should be tender and brown, but not charred.
Remove from grill, season to taste and drizzle remaining oil & seasoning mixture.
Serve hot or at room temperature & enjoy
Helpful Hints:
Partially cooking potatoes before grilling cuts down on time, halfway cooked, the high heat sears them with a tasty outer crust, while finishing cooking the inside
Marinating potatoes with olive oil, seals in the moisture preventing them from drying out.
Soak bamboo skewers in water up to 2 hours so potatoes cook evenly and do not burn.
Cover & refrigerate up to 3 days, enjoy the next morning in your favorite breakfast frittata or scramble. At lunch in a steak salad or with a sandwich.
