Tasty and Easy Roasted Potato Skewers
Roasted potato skewers: a delicious and tasty side dish (or appetizer), very easy and quick to prepare, for those moments when you crave special roasted potatoes, they resemble hasselback potatoes (hasselbackpotatis), a popular dish in Swedish cuisine, with its characteristic fan shape (or accordion).
The potatoes are cut into wedges, alternated on skewers with slices of onion, and dressed with a special sauce made of butter, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.
The amounts of the individual ingredients in the special sauce can be adjusted according to personal taste.
These roasted potato skewers go very well with meatloaf, steak, and lamb.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Generously butter a round pan about 22 cm in diameter.
Cut the onions into thin slices.
Wash and peel the potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise, and then each half into very thin slices, holding them together with a toothpick, inserting slices of onion here and there. Gently place the potato skewers in the buttered pan.
Whisk together melted butter, oil, spicy paprika, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme (or rosemary), garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt.
Pour the special sauce over the potato skewers in the pan, evenly.
Cover the pan with a sheet of aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for about 45 minutes, then remove the foil and roast the potatoes for another 25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Serve the roasted potatoes hot and crispy.
