how to make Blackstone Fries
Making Blackstone Fries is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to create your own crispy and flavorful fries.
Ingredients :
- 4 russet potatoes (Large potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch fries.)
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil (Use for griddling.)
- 3 tbsp butter (Adds rich flavor and helps crisping.)
- 2 tsp garlic powder (Season while fries are hot.)
- 2 tsp paprika (For color and mild smokiness.)
- 1 tsp onion powder (Adds savory depth.)
- 0 salt and pepper (To taste; season immediately after flipping.)
- 0 fresh parsley, chopped (Chopped for garnish.)
- 0 ketchup and other dipping sauces (Serve on the side for dipping.)
Directions :
- Cut and soak: Begin by cutting the russet potatoes into 1/4-inch fries. Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and leads to a crispier fry.
- Griddle the fries: Preheat your Blackstone griddle and add the vegetable oil and butter. Once hot, add the soaked fries. Spread them out evenly so they cook properly.
- Season and serve: Cook the fries for about 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder over the fries while they are still hot. Add salt and pepper to taste. When done, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup.
how to serve Blackstone Fries
Blackstone Fries are best served hot and fresh off the griddle. You can place them in a large bowl or on a platter for sharing. Offer a selection of dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or aioli on the side. They pair perfectly with burgers, sandwiches, or grilled meats, making them a versatile addition to any meal.
how to store Blackstone Fries
If you have any leftover fries, allow them to cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on the griddle or in an oven at 375°F until hot and crispy again. This may take around 10 minutes.
tips to make Blackstone Fries
- For extra crispy fries, make sure to soak them long enough and dry them well before frying.
- Experiment with different seasoning blends, like Cajun or chili powder, for unique flavors.
- Don’t overcrowd the griddle; this helps each fry cook evenly and become crispy.
