There’s no wrong way to make fries, right?!
I mean any way you slice it (pun intended), fries take a potato and make it super tasty!
At our house, we don’t mess with making regular fries (we leave that up to Cookout), but we do like whipping up a batch of baked fries.
My husband is the master of cutting the perfect wedges or strips, and he’s even got his seasoning mix down pat. Cayenne and smoked paprika are the secrets.
So, he or I (I can’t quite remember) had the idea of grilling our fries. This way, they get that burger-ish flavor, they have a perfect crunch on the outside and soft, creamy inside.
If you’re still savoring the last of summer using the grill, then throw on some fries next time!
Here’s how you make them:
- Slice a few potatoes into strips or wedges and throw them into a large bowl of salted water. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes, then pat dry on a towel.
- In a medium bowl, toss potato slices with a few tbs. of olive oil, some salt and pepper, and a few pinches of cayenne and smoked paprika.
- Grill the fries on a 400 degree grill, turning until they have a little char on each side.
