Skewered Baby Potatoes with Rosemary are a simple yet flavorful side dish that elevates any meal with minimal effort. These bite-sized potatoes are seasoned with aromatic rosemary, garlic, and olive oil, then skewered for easy grilling or roasting. The result is a crispy exterior with a soft, fluffy interior, creating the perfect balance of textures.
To make this dish, start by selecting small baby potatoes, as they cook quickly and have a creamy texture when roasted. Parboil them for a few minutes to ensure they cook evenly on the grill or in the oven. Once they’re tender, thread them onto skewers, alternating with sprigs of fresh rosemary to infuse them with a delicious herby flavor. Drizzle the skewered potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder for extra seasoning.
If grilling, cook the skewers over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even crisping. For roasting, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The potatoes should develop a golden-brown crust with a tender inside.
These skewered potatoes are perfect for pairing with grilled meats, fish, or even as a standalone appetizer. The rosemary adds a lovely fragrance and earthy flavor that complements the mild sweetness of the potatoes. You can also experiment with adding other herbs like thyme or oregano, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan for an extra layer of flavor.
Skewered Baby Potatoes with Rosemary are not only a versatile and tasty side dish but also an easy way to add an elegant touch to any meal. Whether grilling outdoors or roasting indoors, these potatoes are a crowd-pleaser that never goes out of style.

I followed the recipe but my potatoes took over 30 mins to cook. What did I do wrong?
These potatoes were amazing! So easy and sooo good! 😋
I dunno, sounds kinda plain to me. Potatoes are just potatoes? 🤷♂️
I’m glad you enjoyed them! They really are a perfect side dish for any meal. 😍
I thought baby potatoes were just small normal potatoes. Are they even different? 🤔
Easy and delicious! I didn’t have skewers tho, just put them in a pan and it was still great!
I don’t like rosemary, can I just use parsley instead? Will it work?
