Step 1:
1. Thread each potato onto a wooden skewer, then hold your knife at a slight angle and cut the potato into a continuous spiral around the skewer.
Step 2:
1. Cut the pork rump into medium chunks and make a slit in each one. Tuck the pork into the gaps of the potato spiral so the fatty side sits on top and the meat faces down.
Step 3:

Step 4:
1. Your kebabs are ready. Enjoy! Yours, Old Sam.

The holidays are over, the festive table is now just a memory of potato salad, and I'm craving something simpler that doesn't keep me chained to the stove. Enter my pork kebabs! Really, they're potato kebabs made from just two ingredients: potatoes and pork rump. The potatoes soak up the rendered fat from the meat, while the meat picks up a lightly smoky aroma, so the result is close to a real grilled kebab, only baked. If you can even call it a kebab, it makes a fantastic snack to go with a cold beer, since it's so quick: 10 minutes of prep and the oven does the rest while your drinks chill. The rump gives the whole dish that gentle smoky flavor, though you can use another cut of pork if you like. Just don't trim off the skin and fat, that's where most of the flavor lives. So if you're tired of the same old holiday menu and want a little taste of summer, give this easy kebab recipe a try. It's probably the simplest way to make kebabs indoors any time of year. The flavor isn't quite as authentic as over an open flame, but you still get that whisper of smoke. Kebabs are a great choice for a holiday dish and a big crowd. And the best part: just 2 ingredients and 3 steps, without smoking up the whole kitchen! Your guests will love it, and you never even have to leave home. Enjoy, dear friends, and happy holidays! Yours as always, Old Sam.
