Frozen Fries on the Blackstone

Step 1

Heat the griddle: Switch it on to medium-low and let it warm up for 15–20 minutes. A steady, even temperature is key.

Step 2

Prep the surface: Spread oil generously on the griddle. Don’t skimp—this keeps fries from sticking and promotes crispiness.

Step 3

Arrange the fries: Grab them by the handful and scatter them in a single layer. Avoid dumping the entire bag at once, which can lead to uneven heating and potential damage to your griddle.

Step 4

Cover if possible: If you have a lid or dome, go ahead and use it. Otherwise, no problem—just stick to the same process.

Step 5

Let them brown: Keep your spatula away until you see a solid golden crust on the bottom. Flip only when they’re browned to your liking, then repeat on the other sides until you reach the desired level of crisp.

Step 6

Season and serve: Once they’re all done, sprinkle with seasoning salt. You can add other spices too, like paprika or garlic powder, if you want extra flavor. Then plate up and dig in.
