Ingredients
- 16 oz baby gold (or red) potatoes
- 4 links smoked sausage (12–13 oz total)
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 8 (6-inch) wooden skewers
- ½ cup dark beer (or malt beverage)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Steps
- Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Place potatoes in microwave-safe bowl, cover, and cook on HIGH 8 minutes; let stand 5 minutes. Cut each sausage into 4 pieces; cut onion into 1-inch pieces.
- Alternate potatoes, onions, and sausages onto skewers. Combine beer, syrup, red pepper (if using), salt, and pepper; whisk thoroughly.
- Brush skewers with syrup mixture; place on grill. Cook 10–12 minutes, turning and brushing with syrup mixture occasionally, until sausages are 165°F and potatoes are tender. Serve.
Chef's Tip: For a fun touch, spiralize the potatoes and sausages by threading onto skewers and cutting around each to the skewer.
If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
