Tailgate Sausage Skewers
8 servings
30 minutes total
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
  1. 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.
  2. Alternate potatoes, onions, and sausage onto skewers. Combine beer, syrup, red pepper (if using), salt, and pepper; whisk thoroughly.
  3. Brush skewers with syrup mixture; place on grill. Cook 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with syrup mixture every turn, until sausages are 165°F and potatoes are tender. Serve.
Note: For a fun touch, spiralize the potatoes and sausages by threading onto skewers and cutting around each to the skewer.
