Grilled French Fries: Thin potato rounds have been tossed with oil and seasoned to perfection and then grilled. These “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 fried potatoes, dishes like Grilled BBQ Burgers, Sweet and Spicy Sausage Kabobs, and Barbeque Drumsticks all go great with a side of potatoes.
At my house, my kids (and husband) LOVE fries. When I say love, I mean L-O-V-E!! And I have to admit, I am a sucker for a potato anyway I can get one!! The best thing about fries, is that they are easily made at home with simple real ingredients, so this Mama tries to keep her family happy by including oven baked fries at least a couple times a month.
But right now it is SO hot!! And I hate cranking my oven up in the heat. So I decided to grill my “fries.” And since I am always grilling during the summer months, this was a no brainer! 
You are going to love how easy this is. You simply cut the potatoes into thin rounds (this is the perfect shape to keep the potatoes from sliding through the grates on the grill), drizzle with oil and homemade seasoned salt, and grill away until the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
These will be a new favorite in your house too–I pretty much guarantee it!

I’m a fry addict, too! We bake wedge fries very regularly and it seems like potatoes are on the dinner menu every other night. I’ve never thought to grill them though – fabulous idea.

Never thought of cutting them into rounds to keep them steady on the grill. Love this idea. My kids would go nuts for these.
