- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Crispy Potato Skewers
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Thread the seasoned potato cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes are baking, prepare the herb dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, and chives until well combined. Season with salt to taste.
- Once the potato skewers are done, remove them from the oven and serve hot with the herb dipping sauce on the side.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to cut the potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; give the potatoes enough space to crisp up.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different spices like cumin or chili powder in the seasoning mix.
Easy Variations
- Sweet Potato Skewers: Swap out russet potatoes for sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor.
- Cheesy Skewers: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the potatoes during the last few minutes of baking for a cheesy twist.
- Spicy Skewers: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning for a spicy kick.
