Scrub potatoes, peel if desired and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Place in a serving bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper and any seasonings that you like on your fries – we enjoy a seasoned salt on these fries. Add 3 Tablesoons of cooking oil and stir to coat. Preheat your griddle to medium heat (350 – 400 degrees Fahrenheit). Because the fries have been pre-oiled, do not oil the griddle surface. Place the fries on the griddle and cook for approximately 20 minutes, turning every five minutes so that the fries are browned evenly on all sides. Remove to a serving dish and sprinkle with herbs, if desired. These fries may be prepared before the sliders – loosely tent serving dish to keep fries warm, but allow steam to escape so that the fries do not get soggy. Serves 4.
Give this recipe the gourmet treatment with fancy cheeses, exotic relish, griddles shallots instead of onions, etc. You won’t go wrong either way, but we do love the “classic” version for its simple perfection. We eat everything that we cook in our videos, and there was nothing left after this shoot.
