How to Cook Frozen French Fries on Blackstone
- Step 1 – Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium low heat to approximately 350 degrees F.
- Step 2 – Spread the vegetable oil on the flat top grill and use the spatula to spread the frying oil out evenly onto the griddle surface.
- Step 3 – Then put the frozen French fries onto the griddle in a single layer.
- Step 4 – Cook the fries for 2-3 minutes without flipping them (you can close the lid if your griddle has one) until the fries are golden brown.
- Step 5 – Then flip the fries and cook them for 2-3 more minutes until all sides of the fries are golden brown. After cooking the restaurant-quality place the fries on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
- Step 6 – Season the Griddled French fries with the salt and pepper. Then these griddle-cooked fries are ready to enjoy with the best crispy texture.
Recipe Tips
- Cooking Fries – Slowly put the fries on the griddle as you don’t want to put a ton of frozen ingredients on the griddle at once or it could cause the griddle to warp.
- Flipping Fries – As you are cooking the fries, flip the fries every 2-3 minutes so the outside of the fries get extra crispy.
- Frying Pan – If you decide to deep fry these fries on the stove top, I would recommend using a cast iron skillet for best results.
Variation Ideas
- Change the Seasoning – Toss with taco seasoning or Lawry’s seasoning salt for the best seasonings. Paprika and garlic powder is also a great addition to the crispy seasoned french fries for maximum flavor.
- Add Toppings – Add garlic and parmesan or cheddar cheese right before removing from the griddle.
- Different Oil Options – I used vegetable oil for this recipe but you can use peanut oil, coconut oil, canola oil or avocado oil instead. Do not use olive oil as it has a low smoke point and may cause the fries to burn.
