Grilled Potato Bacon Kebabs Recipe
- 8 bamboo skewers
- 1 1/2 pounds small red potatoes
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 slices thick-cut applewood bacon, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon coarse-grained Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Olive oil
- 1 bunch Italian parsley leaves, chopped, for garnish (optional)
- Soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes.
- Put the potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover them and bring to a boil.
- Add the salt, reduce the heat, and simmer until just tender but not falling apart, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Drain and let cool while you prepare the grill and vinaigrette.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct-heat grilling over medium heat.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring, until crisp.
- Drain all but 1 to 2 tablespoons of fat (leaving the bacon in the pan), then stir in the mustard and vinegar.
- Set aside.
- Cut the potatoes in half if small or quarters if medium.
- Thread onto the skewers and brush with olive oil.
- Grill, turning once or twice, until nicely charred, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter and douse with the vinaigrette, coating the skewers completely.
- Garnish with parsley if you like.
