Ever wondered what the Knight of Swords would want for lunch?
Special Equipment needed for this recipe?
Ok, truth be told, you don’t need to skewer these potatoes. They are delicious as is and served on the side of any meal. But, since we are working with the Knight of Swords, why not skewer them? Best to use SOAKED wooden skewers. To soak, just fill a vessel that holds their length with water to cover. You may need to hold them down by placing something heavy on top. Soak for at least an hour.
Always have soaked skewers ready to go by placing some in a gallon sized plastic freezer bag. Add water to cover and store them in the freezer until you need them.
Last option is to invest in metal skewers. No soaking required.
As for the length, you can make these any length you wish. Mini ones for a board could be 3″, whereas dinner sized ones should be 10″ or 12″ in length. Enjoy picking and choosing to your liking.
Tips and Tricks?
Place your pan in the oven as it heats up. Carefully pull the pan and, again, carefully brush your pan with melted ghee BEFORE placing the skewers on it. The skewers will sizzle when they hit the pan and immediately start to cook, making sticking to the pan less of a problem. Plus, you don’t need to turn them half way through baking as they will sear on both sides.
Storing Leftovers.
Although these keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in a 350F oven for about 15 minutes, or, airfry them (if the skewers fit) at 375 for about 6 minutes.
Best not to freeze them. The potatoes, without the fat added, get mealy and watery after thawing.
