While visiting my favorite blogs today, My Year on the Grill spotlighted this blog. To tell you I'm very honored and flattered, just doesn't seem to really express how humbled I am by his post today. Thank you much for your kindness. Go visit My Year on the Grill, your going to find so many wonderful recipes (I'm still swooning over the Bacon Wrapped Potato Boats with Goat Cheese and Asparagus. Ok, since I have your attention, Grill also noticed that this is my 300th post. I didn't even realize this, I mean once my shoes are off and I get to 20, it starts getting confusing. So I had to come back to this post and edit it to thank My Year on the Grill. your kind words mean a lot to me. Also, I wanted to say, "Whoo-Hoo 300!".
I don't look 300 do I? Don't answer that!
Grilled French Fries -
You know sometimes you just want a side dish that is comforting and doesn't take a lot of thought. Sometimes you just dive in head first and let the crumbs fall where they may. Sometimes I just don't want to turn on the oven or the stove.
This particular day, I cooked everything on A.J's grill (he was in the Big Sleazy visiting his Mom), meat, starch and veggies.
To be honest, the potatoes don't make a mess on the grill. These are just the ticket! And guess what? Since cooler weather is approaching you can bake these in the oven. We tried it when I was all set to grill and it rained on my parade.
Estimate one potato per person. You'll have more than you need. Wash the potatoes, cut them in half and boil them for about 10 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut each half into 4 slices (leave the skin on, it gives them character).
Place slices into a bowl and liberally season them with Emeril's Essence or your favorite seasoning blend. Drizzle a little vegetable or canola oil over the potatoes and toss the potatoes with your hands to evenly coat with oil and seasonings.
Place the potato slices on the grill over medium-high heat. (If you use the oven, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through).
Turn after 7 minutes and cook another 7 minutes and serve. It's not your average side and it's some simple you can't help but try it!

Love it! I would use 2 taters per person with this one. Just sayin'.
Excellent job, K! I could eat those as a main course!
Glad to see Big Dude stopped by. He's good people:)
I love french fries. Have been trying to avoid the fried ones so usually I would put them in the oven, grilled french fries sounds awesome, another way to prevent from frying :)
Congratulations on your 300 post, Katherine :)
I make these in the oven all the time but I have NEVER thought of making them on the grill...you are brilliant!!

Such a great idea for not turning on the oven. Can't wait until it starts to cool off so we can turn it on!
Congrats on your 300!!!
And for your recognition, you deserve it friend!
Made fries just the other day, but I don't have a grill, so they didn't turn out as yummy-looking as yours!
I'm approaching 600. That's really old, I think.
I've made oven fries before. Even my littlest fussbudget loves them, and that's going somewhere! You know I don't grill, so we'll stick to oven fries, OK?
Congrats on 300!!! That's such an accomplishment. I love these taters on the grill - so easy and so yummy!
Happy 300th post Katherine! Wow..that certainly is alot of blogging and cooking! The fries, like everything else you cook, look delicious! Hope to read at least another 300 posts!

You don't look 300 :-), but that is an accomplishment. I really like today's recipe for fries. We'll give it a try this weekend.
this is such a fun way to eat fries!
I've done them in the oven, but these look even better- and I bet taste better too. Super idea! I could eat a bunch.
Looks like a super way to fix french fries...I'll bet they get a little extra zing from the grill.
I've had company and missed this post. Love potatoes and I've got to try them grilled. What a great idea. I bake them and it heats up the house. Congratulations on 300 yummy posts.
