Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 3 boiling potatoes, about 1 pound
- 2 small sweet potatoes or yams (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Method
Prepare a fire in the grill.
Position an oiled grill rack 4 inches above the fire.
Steam all potatoes on a rack over boiling water until they are barely tender when pierced, 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove to a large bowl and cover with cold water.
Let stand for about 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Cut potatoes into 1 1/2 inch chunks and thread them onto skewers.
In a small bowl whisk together oil, parsley, tarragon, red chile flakes, pepper and salt; set aside.
Arrange the skewers on the grill rack.
Grill, turning frequently and brushing occasionally with oil-herb mixture until potato skins are well browned, about 10 minutes.
