Need a super easy side that tastes like sunshine? We’ve got your back. These Lemon-Potato Skewers are a total win for busy weeknights, especially when you want to bring some fresh flavor to the dinner table. We toss our tender Little Potatoes in a bright, zesty lemon and herb dressing that’s a perfect addition to any meal, especially if you’re firing up the grill!

And hey, we know life happens, so don’t sweat it if you don’t have every single ingredient. No fresh oregano? Dried works just fine, or you can try fresh thyme or rosemary for a different (but still super yummy) twist. Feel free to thread on other quick-cooking veggies like cherry tomatoes or zucchini, too!

On-the-Go Tips

These skewers are awesome for meal prep. You can assemble them ahead of time and just keep them in the fridge. They’re great for picnics and BBQs, or as a pre-portioned side for packed lunches. They taste amazing warm or even at room temp, making them perfect for your family’s packed schedule.

Kid-Friendly Fun

This is a fantastic recipe for getting your little helpers in on the action!

  • Future Grill Masters: With a little help (especially if you’re using wooden skewers), kids can have a blast carefully threading the potatoes onto the skewers.
  • Sauce Boss: Let them be in charge of whisking the lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs together. They’ll love making the tasty marinade that makes these potatoes so good!
