Your best homemade french fry techniques?

[MillicentLake]

We love fries with meat meals but don't have a lot of freezer space for the frozen type.

I'm not too keen on the deep fryer due to fear of the hot grease. Does anyone have any recipes/techniques for making fries in the oven or on the grill?

The shoestring and crinkle-cut type are our favorites though steak fries are delicious too.

Homemade tater tot recipes welcome too, and really any other potato delight!

I have had good luck with just a couple of inches of oil in a saucepan. You can't make as many at one time, but you do end up with "real" french fries.

I like baked or broiled, but DH prefers the above method. He really likes them done in peanut oil.

Not fries, but another potato recipe. And it's for the grill.

Cut potatoes in cubes (how my wife preps them for me), rinse and place on aluminum foil that is big enough. Add some cut up bacon, some onion, jalapeno slices and some butter. Season how you'd like, we add garlic or garlic powder, whatever is handy.

Wrap up the foil tight, and hopefully not leaking. Put on the side of the grill while you cook other stuff. Usually takes about an hour on the side of the grill. Don't forget to spin and flip while cooking.

Really good accompaniment for most grilled meats, burgers to filet to pork roast. Run wild with it

Maybe something like this?

It's not a deep fryer, but I've heard it does a good job on French fries.
