Mesquite BBQ Skewered Potatoes

Disclosure: I was compensated for this post. All opinions and experiences are my own.

It is a gorgeous summer day today here and in these parts we are about to celebrate the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, The Calgary Stampede. I start to think of some great “cowboy” type recipes that are wonderful on the grill. That got me thinking of mesquite bbq potato chips and their wonderful smoky flavor, one of my favorites. I then went about making these Mesquite BBQ Skewered Potatoes that are full of wonderful spices and are so easily made using Little Potato Company’s Creamer potatoes. 

These little potatoes are so easy to work with as they come pre-washed. I boiled them up in a quick 14 min. reducing the cook time by 1 min. to make sure they stayed whole and slightly firm to skewer. This recipe will make any cowboy young or old come rushing to the table. Imagine a big juicy steak coming off the BBQ to accompany these, YUMMO!!

After a boil and cool down the potatoes are easily thread onto water soaked skewers. These can be made ahead of time to this point. When ready to grill all they need is a quick brush with olive oil and then a nice high sprinkling of our homemade mesquite seasoning. Place them on the grill to rewarm and get some lovely smoky flavor and grill marks. This is the perfect simple summer side dish. 

Mesquite is actually a tree that grows in the southern states and Mexico. The wood from the tree is used to impart wonderful flavors into grilled food but because the trees are scarce in these parts (non-existent), we are lucky to have this homemade mesquite seasoning.

Little cow pokes will enjoy these also and you will be happy to know that little potatoes are naturally fat-free, sodium-free, cholesterol-free, gluten-free and only 120 calories per serving. Plus, the added bonus of essential vitamins and minerals like potassium, iron, fiber and vitamin C.

    Our side dishes have been getting a little boring lately. I think it’s time to kick things up a notch with these potatoes. I love mesquite flavor but never thought about using it with potato.

    These look so good! We usually cook ours right on the fire, but adding a little seasoning like this is a great idea too! Those prewashed little potatoes are very handy.

    Whenever we fire up the grill, we also add some rope sausage, which we wrap in tortillas and eat as an appetizer. These potatoes would be a great addition to any bbq.

    Those are great. I would probably make those skewers alternating between the potatoes, mushrooms, and red bell pepper. The potatoes alone look rather stunning however.
