Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, choose starchy potatoes like Russets for your French fries. If you want a healthier option, use olive oil instead of butter and oil. Experiment with different seasoning salts, such as garlic or paprika, to customize the flavor. Ensure the griddle is hot enough before adding the potatoes to achieve that crispy exterior. For a fun twist, serve alongside ketchup or a homemade dip, similar to those used with American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These griddle French fries make a perfect side dish for burgers or sandwiches. Pair them with a refreshing coleslaw or a crisp salad to balance the meal. They also go well with dipping sauces like ranch or garlic aioli. For a complete comfort meal, serve them alongside Kathy's Dressing for a delicious twist. Enjoy them fresh, as they are best eaten right after cooking.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover griddle French fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a preheated griddle or skillet over medium heat until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as it may make them soggy. For best results, consider reheating in the oven for a few minutes, which helps restore the crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, you can use sweet potatoes for a healthier alternative. They will add a different flavor and sweetness to the fries, but keep in mind they may require a slightly different cooking time to achieve the desired crispiness.
What type of oil is best for frying?
While any cooking oil will work, oils with a high smoke point like canola or vegetable oil are ideal for frying to prevent burning. Olive oil is also a good choice for a healthier option, but it may have a lower smoke point.
How can I make these fries spicier?
To add some heat, sprinkle your fries with cayenne pepper or chili powder along with the seasoning salts. You can also serve them with a spicy dipping sauce, such as sriracha mayo, to elevate the flavor and give a kick to your griddle French fries.
