BBQ Mamee Potato Skewers

Mamee noodle snack, 1 of my favourite childhood snacks. Still remembered when i was in primary school, 1 of my classmates told mi that tidbits' seasonings were great and taste wonderful. And tis funny classmate of mine would always mix seasoning with water and drink. I was like "OMG r u out of ur mind?"
Think i'm slightly cleverer, i will always sprinkle them over hot crispy french fries or potato wedges. Tis time round, i use it on roasted potato skewers instead.

Ingredients;
1 medium potato
Mamee seasoning
Oil
Satay sticks

Method;
-Soak satay sticks in water for 1/2 an hour
-Slice potato thinly
-Drizzle oil and mamee seasoning over potato slices
-Thread onto satay stick
-Bake at 200 degree celcius till crispy
-Sprinkle more mamee seasoning over potato skewers
-Enjoy!
