Ingredients

Grilled Yukon Gold Steak Fries:

6 large Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed

1/4 cup canola oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning

Chile-Cheese Sauce, recipe follows

Fresh chopped cilantro leaves

Serving suggestions: Bobby's Mexican Fry Seasoning or Spanish Paprika Mayo Sauce, recipes follow

Chile-Cheese Sauce:

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cups whole milk, heated

10 ounces grated white Cheddar

3 jalapeno chiles, grilled, peeled, seeded and finely diced

Pinch chile de arbol

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Mexican Fry Seasoning:

1 1/2 tablespoons ancho chile powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon granulated onion

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

2 teaspoons kosher salt

Spanish Paprika Mayo Sauce:

1 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon aged sherry vinegar

2 cloves finely chopped garlic

1 grilled plum tomato

2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus leaves for garnish

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, over medium heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Cook until potatoes are tender, but still firm, about 10 minutes. Drain, let cool and cut each potato lengthwise into 8 slices.
  2. Heat grill to medium-high. Brush the potatoes with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the potatoes to a platter and drizzle with the sauce, garnish with fresh cilantro or serve sauce, on the side, as a dip.

Chile-Cheese Sauce:

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the cheese a little at a time until smooth.
  2. Add the jalapenos, chile de arbol and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Mexican Fry Seasoning:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.

Spanish Paprika Mayo Sauce:

  1. Put mayonnaise, vinegar, garlic, tomato and paprika in food processor and process until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Scrape into a bowl and stir in the parsley.

Thank You Bobby! These fries rock! They were a big hit at my 4th of July BBQ. The sauces took it to the next level along with the Mexican Fry Seasoning. Combining them all together knocks it out of the park! They will be a regular at future BBQ's. <br /> Happy Grilling, <br /> Ron Watkins
