Grilled Chili Fries Food

CHILI CHEESE FRIES

Steps:

• Spread frozen fries in an even layer on a cookie sheet.
• Bake at 420 degrees for 18 - 20 minutes being sure to stir fries halfway through baking, this helps them crisp up.
• Meanwhile, heat chili in a small saucepan over medium-low heat stirring occasionally.
• When fries are done, transfer them to a 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup cheese over fries.
• Spread warmed chili over cheese. Top chili with remaining 1 cup cheese.
• Return to oven and bake an additional 5 - 8 minutes or until cheese is fully melted. Serve with optional sour cream and chives.

CHILI FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Lay fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until crisp and golden.
• In a large pot over medium heat, break up ground beef and brown, stirring constantly to break up all the clumps to fine ground.
• Add remaining ingredients through the onion powder. Bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve hot fries on a plate smothered with chili and topped with shredded cheese, if using.

SEASONED GRILLED FRIES

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes with cold water in a large saucepan and cook until almost tender. Drain and dry the potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise into quarters. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush both sides of the potatoes with oil. Combine the chili powder, salt, and cumin in a small bowl, and sprinkle over the potatoes. Grill the potato wedges for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve with ketchup.

BAKED SMOKED CHILI FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place potatoes, chili powder, salt, pepper, and oil in plastic bag. Shake vigorously to coat potatoes evenly with all ingredients. Spread out on a cookie sheet. Do not over crowd or overlap potatoes or they will steam. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through.
• Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. They will come off tray easily.

GRILLED YUKON GOLD STEAK FRIES WITH CHILE-CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Add the jalapenos, chile de arbol and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
• 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.

BAKED FRESH CHILI FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the seeds from all of the peppers and cut into 1/2-inch lengthwise strips.
• Set up a breading station: 1 pan of 1 cup of flour, 1 pan of eggs beaten with milk, 2 tablespoons of flour and mustard, and 1 pan of bread crumbs seasoned with cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Coat the peppers in the flour, then in the egg mixture and then in the bread crumbs.
• Arrange the chili fries on a nonstick baking sheet and roast for 18 minutes, turning once.
• Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.

GRILLED CHILI

Steps:

• Prepare a coal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Measure the chili powder and chipotle into a large ziplock bag. Add some of the beef cubes, seal the bag, and shake to coat. Remove beef cubes and repeat until all the beef is well coated (add additional chili powder and chipotle if needed). Reserve any remaining spice mixture.
• Thread beef cubes on skewers. Thread the peppers on skewers separate from the beef (use 2 skewers, one at each end of pepper, to make turning easier).
• Grill beef and peppers until beef is barely done (do not cook too well, or beef will be tough), about 10 minutes or so, and peppers are blackened, about 15-20 minutes.
• Remove beef cubes from skewers and set aside.
• Remove peppers from skewers, wrap in damp paper towels, place in a paper bag and fold close. Let rest for 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle, then peel skin from peppers, seed, and dice.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepot, heat oil and saute onions and garlic until onion is tender and garlic is white or pale golden (do not let garlic get dark).
• Add beef, peppers, beans, tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, and reserved spice mixture. Bring to a simmer and simmer, uncovered, for about 20-30 minutes or until beef is tender and seasonings are well blended.
• Serve with garnished with shredded cheese or sour cream, if desired.

SEASONED GRILLED FRIES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes, unpeeled, into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer until almost tender, about 15-20 minutes. Do not overcook, or they will fall apart and you won't be able to cut them into fries.
• Drain and dry the potatoes and allow to cool enough to handle.
• Carefully cut each potato lengthwise into about 6 wedges. (Original recipe said 4 wedges, but those are too thick in my opinion.) You do have to be careful, since they are already cooked, that they could crumble or fall apart.
• Place the wedges on a baking sheet and brush both sides of the potatoes with oil.
• In a small bowl combine chili powder, salt and cumin. Sprinkle over the potatoes.
• Grill the potato wedges for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
