Are you ready for summer? Break out your BBQ for some wonderful recipes to enjoy with family. If you have not tried Grilled French Fries you are missing out. They are the perfect side dish for burgers.
Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice. We leave the skin on I think it makes it taste even better.
You need ¼ inch fries. The thicker the fries, the longer and harder the cooking. You can use a mandolin, or a good knife to cut your potatoes.
The potatoes need to be soaked for 10-20 minutes in cold water and then dried well before proceeding.
Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Place fries in a disposable foil pan that is sprayed with cooking spray. Place the pan on grill grate. Grill 15 to 20 min. or until fries are heated through, stir after 10 min.
