I’ve got another delicious recipe to share with you guys today: Steak Kabobs with Potatoes. They’re simple enough for a weeknight family dinner but fancy enough for a party or BBQ. Added bonus- they are easy to prep ahead so they’re grill-ready when you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love these grilled steak and potato kabobs because they are easy and super versatile. An easy marinade of oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce garlic and onion adds flavor to the meat and veggies and you can choose your favorite veggies to customize the meal to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you put potatoes on kabobs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes! I think a lot of people overlook potatoes as a vegetable option for kabobs because they take longer to cook than other vegetables but with one simple trick, you can definitely include potatoes in your next kabobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to prep potatoes for kabobs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The trick for potatoes is cooking the potatoes in the microwave before assembling the kabobs so that everything cooks evenly on the grill in just 10 minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can prep the potatoes earlier in the day or just before you’re ready to assemble the kabobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long to boil potatoes for kabobs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not excited about using the microwave, you can also boil the potatoes before putting them on the skewers. The boiling time will depend on the size of the potatoes but typically about 3-5 minutes for smaller potatoes and anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes for larger potatoes. You want them to be soft enough that you can easily push the skewer through the potato but not so soft they fall apart on the grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microwaving or parboiling the potatoes before grilling will help you get crispy grilled potatoes on kabobs – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best type of potatoes for kabobs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use naturally small potatoes like those from the Little Potato Company<\/a> or choose larger yellow or red potatoes and cut them into chunks. I wouldn’t recommend russet potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These grilled steak and potato kabobs are perfect for getting your kids in the kitchen with you! My kids had fun piercing holes in the potatoes before microwaving and threading everything onto the skewers. My oldest also helped me chop the veggies – zucchini is especially good for younger kids to practice cutting – and mix the ingredients for the marinade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you microwave the potatoes ahead of time and let them cool, the kids can also help you assemble the skewers. For more kids in the kitchen tips check out my Ultimate Guide to Teaching Kids To Cook<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
