“Fool Proof French Fried Potatoes”
___________________________________________________________________________
Your recipe sounds good.
I ‘fry’ potatoes on the grill all year ‘round.
Cut potatoes into ‘french fry’ size (my Wife loves smaller fries — if it’s just for me I make them 3/4”).
Wash several times in cold water, dry them completely (colander and a paper towel or two) then toss in a bowl with olive oil and kosher salt. Toss several times to ensure proper coating of oil bonfires.
With a grill on low (325 degrees max on the dome) place fries on the grill grates.
Turn approximately every 5 minutes (the potato side on the grill will show some ‘translucence’ when it is turned 90 degrees.
Properly cooked, the fries will have been grilled on each side twice and have some nice grill marks.
Enjoy!
