instructions
    1

    Start by marinating the pork tenderloin. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cut the pork into cubes and add to the marinade. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

    2

    While the meat marinates, peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges. In a large saucepan, boil the wedges in salted water for about 10 minutes to partially cook them. Drain and set aside.

    3

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto skewers, then place them on the grill. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are nicely charred and cooked through.

    4

    While the pork is grilling, heat a bit of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the potato wedges and cook until they are golden and crispy, about 10-15 minutes.

    5

    Squeeze some lemon juice over the grilled pork before serving.

    6

    Serve the kebabs with the crispy potato wedges and warm pita bread.
