Roasted Potato Skewers

  • ACTIVE: 15 MIN
  • TOTAL TIME: 1 HR

Threading small red potatoes on skewers with cubes of bacon makes for an aromatic side dish that complements the smokiness of Graves red wines. For even more complex flavor, Marcia Kiesel laces the bacon with fragrant sprigs of fresh rosemary.

Our Pairing Suggestion

Wines from both Graves and Pessac-Léognan in Bordeaux often have a smoky intensity, making them natural partners for this dish.
