During the summer months, we love to grill. Turkey burgers are a real treat for us, and we love to serve these with fries.
These grilled potato fries are amazing. Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside and perfectly seasoned with the "I just came off the grill" taste.
Plus, there's no need to heat up your oven during those hot summer months! All you need is a grill basket or grill sheet you can place on the grates of your grill to make these potato fries.
Grilled Potato Fries
1 medium russet potato/person
~1 tsp. olive oil/person
sea salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
Begin by washing and peeling (if desired) your potatoes. Slice them into wedges that are fairly thin and, more importantly, a relatively even thickness.
Place the wedges into HOT water and allow the potato slices to sit in the hot water for 15 minutes.
Drain the water off of the potato wedges and pat dry the potatoes with a paper towel.
Toss the potato wedges in a large bowl with olive oil, sea salt and pepper.
Lay the wedges out into the grill basket, or along the grilling plate. {Please excuse the zucchini... unless you like zucchini fries -- then use zucchini in the mix too, however, you don't need to soak them in hot water; otherwise, follow the directions for zucchini fries too!}.
Place the grill basket on the grill, and grill over medium heat for ~20 minutes. Watch the potato fries closely, and flip them over about every 5 minutes. Be sure to use a hot mit if you are going to pick up the hot basket or grilling plate.
Keep the potato fries on the grill until ready to serve because they do cool off very quickly.
Enjoy a delicious, grilled potato fry!
Love grilled potatoes! In the summer it's about the only way we eat potatoes... ok, in the winter too, who am I trying to kid :)

ReplyDeleteI love anything grilled!! These potatoes would be delish!:)
ReplyDeleteThese look scrumptious! I will be trying these this week. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDo you pile them up in the basket like that instead of a single layer or is that just for the photo? I just ordered a grill basket from Pampered Chef and I am anxiously awaiting it's arrival!
ReplyDelete@ Heather - we cook them in a single layer; we toss them when we take them off the grill. Enjoy your grill basket :)
