Grilled Steak Fries

Sarah sent me the idea for these grilled steak fries this week, and I knew immediately that I’d have to use it for our weekend barbecue. It’s so easy: just cut a couple of Idaho potatoes into long wedges — about 6 per potato. Boil them in salted water for 5 or 6 minutes (they should still be quite firm, not floppy), then drain and let cool a bit. Toss them with canola oil and your favorite seasonings (I used Dizzy Dust, which is an all-purpose barbecue rub that we like). Let them sit for a couple of hours in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, grill them over high heat for 10 minutes or so, turning them once, until they’re nicely charred and cooked all the way through. Delicious! J. was really pleased with the way they turned out. Thanks, Sarah!

    Sounds like a great, simple idea for when we’re grilling. I’ll try it!

"Breakeven" by The Script. Such a sad story in a beautiful song. I have been singing this around the house so much that G. recognizes it and tells me to stop singing "THAT!" song again.
