I mean, why not?\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 I love french fries and I love grilling, so it was inevitable that I would try this.\u00a0 And oh my are they good!<\/p>\n

Some of you may have noticed in my post last week, Grilled Portabella Burgers<\/a>, there were delicious looking grilled fries as the side on this plated dish.\u00a0 I figured it was only fair that I share that recipe now, because if you love fries as much as I do, you want to try this very soon.<\/p>\n

It’s really very easy, it just takes patience and you really have to watch the grill or they will burn fast.<\/p>\n

First, simply cut some potatoes into steak fries.\u00a0 That’s easy enough.\u00a0 And you can do this way ahead of time and let them sit in a bowl of water.\u00a0 We do this all the time.<\/p>\n

Drain the water, then toss them in a bowl with some olive oil.<\/p>\n

I grilled mine in two stages to ensure they were done.\u00a0 First stage, I laid aluminum foil down on my grill, sprayed the foil with oil\u00a0and laid the french fries on the foil. This prevents burning.\u00a0 I cooked them for about 5 minutes on each side, being careful when I turned them to not rip the foil.<\/p>\n

Once they were brown and I thought they were done, I took them off the foil and placed them directly on the grill to achieve the cool grill marks.\u00a0 This only takes a minute or two.<\/p>\n

Take them off, put them in a bowl, sprinkle with sea salt and add a few finely choppped chives.\u00a0 Sprinkle with garlic powder or a freshly sliced garlic clove.\u00a0 For the final touch, shave some fresh asiago cheese over all of them while still hot.\u00a0 The cheese will slightly melt over the fries and add a delicious flavor.\u00a0 If you don’t like asiago, you can of course use a different kind of cheese on your fries, or none at all – but I do think your grilled french fries will taste better with a sprinkle of your favorite cheese.<\/p>\n

Dig in and enjoy!<\/p>\n
