Recipe Notes:

Make sure you allow your Blackstone griddle to get nice and hot. Otherwise, the fries won’t crisp up properly. Only drop down a few fries at a time. If you dump a ton at once,e it can cause your grill to warp due to the huge influx of temperature. Make as many or as few fries as you would like. The cooking time for these flat top griddle fries varies depending on the temperature of the grill and the thickness of the fries.

Storing

We recommend making only what you plan to eat fresh and warm off the griddle. The texture and flavor will change significantly once it is frozen.

If you happen to have leftover fries, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Then reheat on a Blackstone, in the microwave, or the oven.

Why are our fries soggy?

If you end up with soggy French fries, it could be two things. On,e you might not have had the grill up to a high enough heat. We recommend medium heat.

Kitchen notes

French Fries

– Any brand of fries work. We used a straight cut fry for this recipe. If you use a larger or thicker fry adjust the cook time as needed. Depending on the thickness of the fries the cook time varies. Heating Griddle – You want to cook on medium heat, if it is too hot it will burn, and you run a higher risk of warping your griddle from the frozen fries. Seasoning – You can leave your French fries plain or season them. If you do just salt then season right after you pull off the griddle.
