Grilled 2 Potato Fries Recipes

GRILLED SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.
• In a large pot, add the sweet potatoes and cover with cold salted water. Bring them to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer until you can pierce each potato with a paring knife and there is little to no resistance, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl of cold water to halt their cooking process. Once the potatoes are cool, drain well. Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into thick wedges, about 6 wedges per potato. Put the potatoes into a large bowl and coat them with olive oil. Add the brown sugar, cayenne, salt, pepper, cinnamon and cloves and toss to evenly coat. Put the wedges on the preheated grill. Cook until they are heated through and caramelized, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve them as they are, or with a side of mint and cumin aioli, if desired.

TWO-POTATO HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Put 2 each cubed Yukon gold potatoes and sweet potatoes in a pot of cold salted water; bring to a boil and cook until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, turning, until browned, 8 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic, 1 teaspoon curry powder, and salt and pepper to taste; cook 1 minute. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

GRILLED POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, crushed garlic, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme in a covered container; let stand for 2 hours or longer.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Put potatoes in a large saucepan and pour in enough salted water to cover; bring to a boil; cook over medium-high heat until mostly tender, 8 to 9 minutes. Drain potatoes and transfer to a bowl.
• Remove garlic from the olive oil mixture and discard. Pour oil over potatoes, sprinkle with garlic salt and black pepper, and toss to coat.
• Place potatoes skin-side down on the grill over direct heat; reserve remaining oil. Grill for 10 minutes; move potatoes to indirect heat until completely cooked, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle remaining oil over potatoes.

GRILLED 2-POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill.
• In medium bowl, combine potatoes and 1 tablespoon of the oil; toss gently to coat.
• Place vegetables in grill basket (grill "wok").
• In small bowl, mix remaining tablespoon oil, the chiles, salt and cumin; set aside.
• When grill is heated, place grill basket over medium-high heat.
• Cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are lightly browned and tender.
• Place potatoes in serving bowl.
• Pour reserved oil mixture over top; toss gently to coat.

SEASONED GRILLED FRIES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes, unpeeled, into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer until almost tender, about 15-20 minutes. Do not overcook, or they will fall apart and you won't be able to cut them into fries.
• Drain and dry the potatoes and allow to cool enough to handle.
• Carefully cut each potato lengthwise into about 6 wedges. (Original recipe said 4 wedges, but those are too thick in my opinion.) You do have to be careful, since they are already cooked, that they could crumble or fall apart.
• Place the wedges on a baking sheet and brush both sides of the potatoes with oil.
• In a small bowl combine chili powder, salt and cumin. Sprinkle over the potatoes.
• Grill the potato wedges for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
