Notes

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
  • I recommend using metal skewers for this recipe. Although the corn is par-boiled, the cores are hard and bamboo skewers would break.
  • Spray the metal skewers with non-stick cooking spray before making the kabobs. This will help the kabob pieces slide off after they are cooked.
  • After par-cooking the corn and potatoes, let them sit for 5 minutes or until they are cool enough to handle.
  • To skewer corn on the cob pieces, set the corn cob side down on a cutting board and skewer the corn piece through the center of the cob.
