Potatoes with lard on skewers on the grill

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry potatoes with lard on the grill? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Try to choose potatoes of approximately the same size, so they will cook evenly, and in the finished dish on a skewer they will look more appetizing and 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 slices about 1 centimeter thick.

3. STEP 3

   

   Which lard is better to choose? It all depends entirely on your taste. You can take absolutely any lard: 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 lard without layers and did not cut off the skin (it became crispy during the frying process). So, cut the lard into slices thinner than the potatoes (about 0.5 cm).

4. STEP 4

   

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

5. STEP 5

   

   Add salt to taste (I used 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 herbes de Provence. Mix everything well.

7. STEP 7

   

   Next you need to marinate the potatoes. You can do this in a deep bowl or in a plastic bag. I find it more convenient to marinate in a bag; in it, the marinade is easily distributed evenly over all potato slices. Place the potatoes in a bag, spread the marinade on top using a teaspoon, tie the bag and mix the entire contents. Approximately 1 tsp. reserve the marinade for later use. Marinate the slices for about 5 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Next you need to string the potatoes and lard onto skewers. Make lard with the first and last piece on the skewer, so the edges of the potatoes will be completely soaked during the frying process and will not be dry. Alternating potatoes and lard, thread the skewer completely.

9. STEP 9

   

   Light up the grill. When the wood burns out and the coals remain, you can start frying the potato shish kebab.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the skewers on the grill and bake for about 30-40 minutes. Cooking time depends on many factors: how hot your grill is, what type of potatoes you use, and how often you turn the skewers.

11. STEP 11

    

    Fry the kebabs until the potatoes are ready. As soon as a golden, delicious crust appears, check for doneness. You can do this with a toothpick - it should prick the potatoes easily. My potato skewers took 30 minutes to cook.

12. STEP 12

    

    Grease the finished potatoes with lard with a silicone brush with the remaining aromatic marinade.

13. STEP 13

    

    Finally, sprinkle the kebabs with chopped herbs. You can serve it to the table!

An interesting solution for an outing! Potatoes with lard on skewers on the grill turn out crumbly, soaked in lard juices. For cooking, I chose lard with streaks of meat, and cut the potatoes not too thick so that they would bake well. It turned out so delicious that we ate it before the kebab! Thank you very much!
