Ingredients:

1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into bite-sized cubes
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Skewers (metal or wooden)
Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning while cooking. If you're using metal skewers, no soaking is needed.

Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine the pork cubes, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the pork is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer if possible) for the best flavor.

Prepare the Potatoes: Parboil the potato cubes in a pot of salted water for 5-7 minutes until they are just starting to soften. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Make the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess according to your preference by adding more honey or vinegar.

Assemble the Skewers: Alternate threading the pork cubes and parboiled potato pieces onto the skewers. You can create a pattern or mix them for a more rustic look.

Cook the Skewers: Grill the skewers on medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 145°F) and the potatoes are crispy on the outside. Alternatively, you can roast them in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.

Serve: Drizzle the skewers with the honey mustard sauce just before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Tips for Serving and Storing:

Serving: These skewers are perfect when paired with a side salad, grilled vegetables, or a light pasta dish. For extra flavor, you can serve additional honey mustard sauce on the side as a dipping option.

Storing: Leftover skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or on a grill to maintain their crispy texture. If you have leftover sauce, it can be stored in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week.
