Cooking potatoes in the microwave is a real time-saver for busy weeknights. For the skewers, use wooden ones that have been soaked in water for at least 20 minutes so they don't burn in the oven, or opt for metal skewers if you're short on time. Just be sure to remove them before serving, as they retain heat.
Tenderloin is an inexpensive, lean cut of pork that's perfect for slicing and broiling on skewers. The luscious homemade peanut sauce does double duty as marinade and dipping sauce, cutting down on prep time. Affordable appetizers never tasted so good!pork

Yakitori, a Japanese skewered chicken, is so easy to make. We love using thigh meat because it stays nice and juicy on the grill. Save any leftover sauce for stir-fries or noodles.
