Ingredients

• 4 large Idaho potatoes, cut into chunks
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

• Pour some vegetable oil onto three paper napkins.
• Place the napkins in the grill and stack firewood over them.
• Light the napkins and allow the fire to build. The grill will be ready in about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the potato skewers

• While the grill heats up, soak wooden skewers in water if using.
• Cut the Idaho potatoes into chunks.
• In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
• Coat the potato chunks in the butter mixture.
• Thread the potatoes onto the skewers.

Step 3: Grill the potato skewers

• Place the skewers on the Arteflame griddle cooktop, positioning them closer to the center for direct heat.
• Rotate skewers every 3–4 minutes to ensure even cooking.
• Grill for about 20 minutes until potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve and enjoy

• Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to cool slightly.
• Serve hot with your favorite grilled meats or dipping sauces.

Tips

• Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
• Move the skewers toward the outer edge of the grill if they are cooking too quickly.
• For extra crispiness, finish the potatoes on the hottest part of the griddle for a final sear.
