2. Hit the Sweet Spot: Sweet Potato Fries Recipe
For a high-quality dish that is easy to prepare and even more enjoyable to eat, grill up some sweet potato fries. Simply slice your potatoes the day before so you have them all prepared, cover them in coconut oil, and grill away.

3. Tailgate Tails: Grilled Shrimp Recipe
What's a tailgate without some tails? Grill up some shrimp tails with this quick and easy prawn recipe, and serve them on a stick of lemongrass. And if you really want to impress your fellow fans, pull out a whole fish and slap it on your grill. Just a warning here: make sure you bring your fish in a cooler. No one likes the smell of spoiled fish.

4. Meatballs Recipe: on the Field & the Grill
Here’s an easy one. Skewer a few meatballs on a stick and grill them up. A great crowd pleaser, they're easy to pick up with your fingers and enjoy one after another. Otto likes his meatballs with an Asian fusion– check out his teriyaki recipe!

5. Chop-lickin’ Chops: Lamb Chops Recipe
Here’s a way to turn tailgate grilling gourmet. Bring along some lamb chops marinated in rosemary and garlic. You can set the chops in the marinade the night before and let them sit until your Otto Grill is fired up and ready. The smell of this one will definitely turn heads.

Happy Tailgating!
