Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (32 oz.) bag frozen french fries
- 1½ cups shredded cheese (pepper jack or cheddar)
- ½ cup buffalo sauce, or to taste
- ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 4 pieces heavy-duty aluminum foil
Instructions
- Prepare aluminum foil squares, placing a portion of butter in the center of each piece.
- Distribute frozen fries in a single layer on each foil square, ensuring even spacing and coverage.
- Fold foil edges upward, creating a packet with an open top to allow steam release, repeating for all fries.
- Position foil packets on grill over indirect heat at medium-high temperature, maintaining a consistent cooking environment.
- Close grill lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, gently rotating fries midway through to ensure uniform crispness and prevent burning.
- Using tongs, carefully open foil packets, being cautious of hot steam escaping from the packets.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over crispy fries, then drizzle buffalo sauce and distribute blue cheese crumbles.
- Return packets to grill, covering for an additional 2-4 minutes until cheese melts completely and becomes slightly bubbly.
- Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped scallions for a vibrant, zesty finish.
- Serve immediately while fries remain hot and cheese is perfectly melted.
Notes
- Prevent sticking by lightly greasing the aluminum foil before adding fries, ensuring they crisp up perfectly without clinging to the surface.
- Use indirect grilling technique to avoid burning, allowing even heat distribution and consistent cooking throughout the fries.
- For gluten-free option, swap regular buffalo sauce with certified gluten-free buffalo sauce and verify blue cheese ingredients.
- Customize heat levels by selecting mild or extra-spicy buffalo sauce, catering to different spice tolerance preferences.
