Grilled 2-Potato Fries
"Get out that grill and fire up your tastebuds. This side dish is simple, but full of flavor and nutrients. Leave out the chipotles, if you don't want that *bite*, but we love it! Peeling the potatoes is optional too."

These were delicious! I served them with Texas smoked brisket and everyone said they went so well together I should nick-name them "brisket fries". I have made them since in the oven and they are equally good. I think next time I smoke a brisket, I may put some in the smoker for an hour, or two, before grilling, and see how they turn out. -
Boy is this good! We really didn't expect this to be as spicy as it was. We're happy campers now. We really enjoy things hot and spicy and this takes the cake. With that said it did take about 30 minutes for the potatoes to cook on the grill. Thanks for posting. We just loved it. :) -
My DH and I just LOVED these!!!!! I made it with one large sweet and 2 russet potatoes. I also used 2 whole chipotle peppers seeds removed and added some adobo sauce. Skipped the salt. To good! One thing I find is to Heat your grill basket along with the grill. Then add the seasoned potatoes. Thank you so much and my DH thanks you!!!

I am...
~a mother of 2 kids (19 and 22) who are extremely picky eaters. The mere mention of "healthy" sends them running in the opposite direction. They prefer the creamy, cheesy, fried stuff that they weren't brought up on!
~a wife of a wonderful man who fights an expanding waistline and will lovingly eat most anything I set before him. Everything is 5 stars to him. :) He's the easiest customer a cook could ask for!
~a teacher who tends to reach for comfort foods to relieve stress. I am a middle school reading specialist. The miracles I see on a daily basis keeps me going! But it's also stressful, so keep me away from the cookie jar! I really have to fight off the sugary, fat-laden stuff that has no worth beyond the momentary comfort in my mouth.
~and I'm also a daughter who was brought up on home cooked meals back when calories meant nothing and taste was everything! That is an idea built into my system that's hard to shake! My mother raised 8 kids (I'm #7) on her home-cooking and I always teased her that she didn't raise a single skinny kid! I luckily inherited her great love of cooking and baking. (I miss you Mom!)
