Potatoes with bacon on skewers on the grill

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Cooking potatoes with lard on the grill will require very few products, the main ones being potatoes and lard. Try to choose potatoes of approximately the same size, so it will cook evenly, and in the finished dish on a skewer it will look more appetizing and more beautiful. Wash the potatoes thoroughly with a brush to remove all dirt. Then rinse the tubers under running clean water and dry them with paper napkins.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the potatoes into circles about 1 centimeter thick.

3. Step 3:

   

   What is the best fat to choose? It completely depends on your taste. You can take absolutely any kind of fat: salted, smoked, with or without layers of meat, and so on. The skin can also be cut off or left if desired. I used smoked bacon without layers and did not cut off the skin (it became crispy during frying). So, cut the fat into plates thinner than potatoes (about 0.5 cm).

4. Step 4:

   

   Prepare the marinade, for this, pour vegetable oil into a small container. Peel the garlic and pass it through a garlic press, send it to the oil.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add salt to taste (it took me about 0.5 tsp of fine salt) and allspice or ground red pepper.

6. Step 6:

   

   You can also add your favorite spices and seasonings to the marinade. I added some frozen Provencal herbs. Mix everything well.

7. Step 7:

   

   Next you need to marinate the potatoes. You can do this in a deep cup, or in a cellophane bag. It is more convenient for me to marinate in a bag, in it the marinade is easily evenly distributed over all the circles. Send the potatoes to the bag, spread the marinade on top with a teaspoon, tie the bag and mix all the contents. Leave about 1 h.l. of marinade for further use. Marinate the circles for about 5 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Next, you need to string potatoes and lard on a skewer. The first and last piece on the skewer make lard, so the potatoes around the edges during the frying process will be completely soaked and will not be dry. Alternating potatoes and lard, lower the skewer completely.

10. Step 9:

    

    Light the grill. When the fire burns out and the embers remain, you can start the most interesting thing, frying potato kebab.

11. Step 10:

    

    Send the skewers to the grill and bake for about 30-40 minutes. The cooking time depends on many factors: what kind of heat you have in the grill, what kind of potatoes you use, and how often you will turn the skewers.

12. Step 11:

    

    Fry until the potatoes are ready. As soon as a golden delicious crust appears, check for readiness. You can do this with a toothpick. It took 30 minutes to cook my potato kebab.

13. Step 12:

    

    Grease the finished potatoes with lard with a silicone brush with the remnants of the fragrant marinade.

14. Step 13:

    

    Well, in the end, sprinkle the kebabs with chopped herbs. You can serve it to the table!
