1/3cupolive oil
¼cuplemon juicefrom 1 medium lemon
3garlic clovespressed
½cuploosely packed parsleychopped
2tablespoonsfresh thyme leaves

Instructions
Cut potatoes and mushrooms in half.
In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley and thyme.
Add potatoes and mushrooms and mix to combine. You can cover and marinate for up to couple of hours.
Meanwhile, heat the grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates using a paper towel soaked with vegetable oil.
Thread mushrooms and potatoes, alternating, on 10-11 metal skewers. (Wooden skewers will work as well, just make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.) Reserve the bowl with leftover marinade to finish the dish.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway, or until the potatoes are tender and golden.
Transfer the skewers from grill onto a baking sheet.
Using a fork, slide the potatoes and mushrooms off the skewers onto the reserved bowl with marinade. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
Notes
Note 1: Baby potatoes are not a variety of potato but are small potatoes that grill well and hold their shape nicely. They can be any variety that’s been picked from the crop before they reach full size. You can find baby red potatoes, baby golds, fingerling potatoes, or a combination. Storing Tips: - Store leftover grilled potatoes and mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. - To reheat, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish, and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Reheat in the oven at 350° until warmed through.
