The best part? You only need a few ingredients and simple steps. Once you try making fries this way,

Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons vegetable or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into even, thin fries — about ¼ inch thick for best results.
- Soak and dry: Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This step removes excess starch and helps achieve maximum crispiness. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- Preheat your Blackstone: Set your Blackstone griddle to medium heat (around 375°F). Add a light layer of oil and let it heat until shimmering.
- Cook the fries: Spread the fries out in a single layer on the griddle. Let them cook for about 3–4 minutes without moving, then begin flipping occasionally to ensure even browning.
- Season and finish: Once the fries turn golden brown and crisp (after about 10–12 minutes total), season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder while still hot.
- Serve and enjoy: Transfer the fries to a bowl or tray, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips or Variations
- Seasoning twist: Toss fries in Cajun spice, smoked paprika, or parmesan cheese for a flavorful kick.
- Sweet potato fries: Swap russets for sweet potatoes for a naturally sweet, caramelized flavor.
- Oil options: Use avocado or peanut oil for a higher smoke point and crispier texture.
- Loaded fries: Add melted cheese, crispy bacon bits, and green onions for the ultimate indulgence.
