Equipment

  • Large microwave-safe bowl
  • Metal or wooden skewers

Ingredients

  • 24 Little Potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp parsley, chopped

    Skewer potatoes (be sure to use metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked first) and grill for 2 to 3 minutes each side, until cooked through.

  • Step 4
