No Need to Peel the Skins Off of These Baby Potatoes 

Delicious, nutritious, eatable skins make meal prep easy  

Baby potatoes from Tasteful Selections^® feature a benefit that goes beyond mere convenience. The skins on our baby potatoes are so thin and tasty that there is no need to peel them. In fact, we highly recommend you don’t even think about removing the skins from these bite-sized morsels. 

Potato skins pack more nutrients than the inside flesh portion of potatoes. What makes baby potatoes skins even more enticing is how thin they are in comparison to full-size potatoes. This detail makes them easier to eat for all ages whether you prepare them as a standalone side dish, one of our Micro Trays, or as an ingredient in a more involved recipe. 

Fire up the grill for Potato Chicken Pesto Kebabs

Today’s recipe features Sunrise Medley^® potatoes and chicken tenders for a main course or appetizer that tastes great when cooked on a grill. 

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. Tasteful Selections^® potatoes (Sunrise Medley^® is recommended) 
• 1 lb. chicken tenders 
• 1/3 c. prepared pesto 
• 1 tbsp. olive oil 
• 1 lemon 

Instructions:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Soak wooden skewers in water while you prepare the rest of the dish. It is not necessary to soak metal skewers. 

Boil the potatoes in salted water for 7-8 minutes. While they’re simmering, cut the chicken into large 1½-inch pieces. Place them into the bowl and stir in pesto sauce. Remove potatoes from the water and drain. Place potatoes in a small bowl and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over them. Stir to coat. 

Assemble kabobs by placing a potato on the skewer, and then alternate between chicken and potatoes until your skewer is full. Try to end the skewer with a potato, as it will keep the chicken in place. 

Place kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning a quarter turn every 2-3 minutes. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the kabob on the last turn. Cook the chicken until it is fully cooked and serve immediately.
