Leave the heat outside and make fries right on the grill! Thin potato rounds have been tossed with oil and seasoned to perfection and then grilled. These Grilled French Fries are the ultimate side dish for any summer meal.
There is something about summertime meals that beckons for a side of potatoes. Be it potato chips, potato salad, or oven fries, dishes like Chicken Burgers, or Barbecue Drumsticks go great with a side of potatoes.
And in the heat of the summer, it makes sense to throw potatoes on the grill to keep the heat out of the kitchen.
Slices of potatoes are tossed with seasonings and then grilled to perfection. The inside of the potato is tender and the outside is crispy. The texture of these grilled potatoes are like fries, hence why I call them Grilled Fries–that and anytime I say the word fries, my entire family gets excited.
