Don’t rush to shrug your shoulders in disappointment - like, there’s nothing special here. Everything about this recipe is special! Starting from the selection of tubers, the search for the best seasonings and the process itself - stringing potatoes on a skewer mixed with delicious pieces of lard and meat.
Why with meat? After all, it says “potato kebab”! And that’s all, because the meat in this dish acts as an auxiliary ingredient: it saturates the tubers with fat, making them especially satisfying and appetizing. And how much fun crackling lovers get! Crispy, with the aroma of Caucasian spices - what a snack on a summer evening. Therefore, potato shish kebab with Adyghe salt and bacon is my favorite dish!
To prepare “potato shish kebab” you will need:
- Potatoes (I recommend only medium-sized tubers) – 20 pcs.
I was cooking for a large crowd of guests, so I charged twice as much. We ate everything!
- Fatty pork – about 500-700g.
Depends on your preferences. After all, you will place a piece of meat between the tubers.
- Adyghe or Abkhaz salt - about 70g.
- Onions (for marinating fatty pork).
If you don’t have such seasoning, you can do the following:
Crush the garlic, mix with salt, add suneli hops and a little ground (preferably red) pepper and parsley powder.
Skewers, good mood and a bottle of chacha. Ladies can be offered not “fire water”, but red wine or homemade Sangria.
This is how we cook potato shish kebab!
Marinate fatty pork with onions. Moreover, squeeze the onion so that there is more juice. No acid like wine vinegar is needed. Don’t forget that the leading role is played by Her Majesty – the potato!
Wash the tubers well. If necessary, use a brush. Baked peel with spices is delicious!
Make cuts on each potato: long longitudinal ones (look as in the photo).
Rub the tubers well with salt and seasonings. Don't be afraid to oversalt. The potatoes will take “for themselves” as much as they need.
As soon as the barbecue has “ripened”, start stringing the delicious food onto skewers.
There should be a piece of meat “hidden” between the potatoes (as in the photo).
The degree of readiness is easy to determine. The original potato kebab should be soft, with a baked brown crust.
Note. On the 2 outer skewers the potatoes are already ready, and on the middle skewers they are half-raw. This is roughly how potato shish kebab is prepared
Buddha is glad if my recipe is useful to someone. In principle, he is not so mine. I just prepared potato shish kebab in just such a delicious way.

When wondering what side dish to prepare for barbecue, do not forget that barbecue is already a very satisfying dish in itself and it is very difficult to combine anything else with it. But every time, when eating kebab, you feel the presence of a lack of side dish, that after all, something is missing...
I don’t know where else they prepare something similar, but in one kebab shop, at the request of regular customers, they serve an unusually tasty potato side dish with the kebab.
Potato side dish for barbecue
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary puree, nothing supernatural, but it is precisely under this simplicity that the zest is hidden. This is just a find and I have never tried anything more suitable for a side dish of barbecue. Potatoes boiled in salted water, then threaded onto skewers and cooked over an open fire, and finally mashed with sunflower oil - it's just perfection, amazingly tasty and the best thing you can serve with a shish kebab.- We will need:
- Potato
- Salad oil
- Salt to taste
Turning over as you go, as soon as the potatoes are crusty and lightly browned, remove from the heat, peel off the burnt parts from the potatoes and place in a deep bowl for further processing.
Add salt to taste and gradually add butter, beat by hand until smooth. Transfer the finished puree into a serving cup, add a considerable amount of ketchup and serve.
When consumed, mix with ketchup.
Grilled tomatoes for barbecue
This tomato side dish is perfect for barbecue and any meat dishes in general. The main thing in this side dish is to choose ripe red tomatoes; greenhouse tomatoes will not work.
Place small tomatoes on skewers and cook over low heat. In order for the tomatoes to bake evenly on all sides, you need to cook them slowly and turn them often, and the burnt skin will not be difficult to separate.
When consuming, place the top of the head up, separate the skin, put salt and ground black pepper on the top of the head and mix with the pulp by piercing with a fork.
Tomatoes baked over a fire and seasoned in this way can be served as a side dish not only for barbecue, but also for other dishes. And also, in this version, it will be an excellent appetizer for a “stormy” feast.
Shish kebab is the main dish of any picnic. But serving meat alone is not enough, so it’s worth thinking about adding to it. What kinds of side dishes are there for barbecue and how to prepare them - read on.
The side dish for shish kebab should emphasize its taste; the main requirement is the lightness of the dish itself. After all, barbecue is quite a heavy food for the stomach, so to avoid troubles, we advise you to choose more fresh vegetables and herbs as a side dish.
In addition, the side dish should be very simple and quick to prepare. Who wants to wait for hours for a delicious lunch in nature? Therefore, an excellent option would be mushrooms and vegetables, which will fry very quickly over an open fire.
But there are not only hot side dishes, but also cold ones, which are also suitable for barbecue. These could be salads that can be cut at home and dressed directly in nature. The only advice is not to use mayonnaise, which can speed up the spoilage process of fresh vegetables. Alternatively, use dressings made from olive oil, mustard or even sour cream.
