Ingredient Notes

1 cup of diced potatoes can be substituted with sweet potatoes for a healthier twist. Use smoked paprika from a trusted brand for the best flavor. 2 tablespoons of olive oil can be swapped with avocado oil if desired. 1 pound of sausage can be replaced with plant-based alternatives or omitted entirely for a vegetarian version. 1/2 cup of finely grated cheese enhances the flavor and can be any cheese you prefer.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your smoker or grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Step 2: Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil and smoked paprika in a bowl until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Skewer the potatoes and sausage on grilling sticks.
  4. Step 4: Place the skewers on the grill and smoke for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally until the potatoes are golden and tender.

Things I’ve Learned

Ensure your potatoes are cut to a uniform size for even cooking. If you don’t have skewers, you can wrap the ingredients in aluminum foil and place directly on the grill. These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness or enjoy them cold!
