Here's the Picnic Sausage & Potato Kabobs

Mustard Sauce
1/4 cup mayo
2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard

Kebabs
3/4 pound petite new potatoes (10-12)
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, pressed
3/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/8 teaspoon each salt and ground black pepper
6 large green onions
1 package (1 pound) cooked bratwurst (5-6 sausages)
12 cherry tomatoes

1. Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium coals. For mustard sauce, mix mayo & mustard in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. For kebabs, cut potatoes in half using Crinkle Cutter. Place potatoes and water in Large Micro Cooker, cover. Microwave on HIGH 5-7 minutes, just until potatoes are fork tender; drain. Drizzle with oil. Add garlic pressed with Garlic Press and seasonings; mix gently using Small Mix N Scraper.

3. Trim root ends from green onions. Cut 24 pieces, each 2 inches long. Reserve green tops for another use. Add onions to potatoes to toss gently.

4. Cut bratwurst diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Alternately thread bratwurst, potatoes, onions and cherry tomatoes onto six 12-inch skewers.

5. Grill kebabs, uncovered, 6-8 minutes or until bratwurst is browned, turning frequently using Barbecue Tongs. Serve kababs with mustard sauce.

Yield: 6 servings

(Precooked smoked sausage is another type of sausage that can be used in this recipe)

If you use wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water at least 30 mnutes before using to prevent burning.

Hope this helps!! Sounds good.
