These Seasoned Grilled Fries we made with large Russet potatoes and my favorite new spice, ground Chile de Arbol. Grilling these left a fantastic crispy exterior and tender interior. Firm enough to stand up to my favorite Beer Cheddar Sauce (that recipe is coming up soon).

Instructions
Place the potatoes and about 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove potatoes from water and allow to cool.
Preheat grill to high.
Cut each potato into 8 wedges (cut in half lengthwise, then in half again and again). Place potato wedges on a baking sheet or tray and spray generously with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and chile de arbol. Toss potatoes until evenly coated.
Carefully brush or rub grill grates with olive oil.
Place potatoes on grill and cook 3-5 minutes on each side. Potatoes should browned grill marks when you flip them. Remove from grill and serve. Enjoy!
