Crispy French Fries with Grilled Sausages: A Classic Comfort Food Combo

Serving: Serve the crispy French fries and grilled sausages hot for the best flavor and texture. They make a great side dish for burgers, grilled chicken, or even a light salad.
Storage: Leftover fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes to crisp them back up. Sausages can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheated on the grill or in the microwave.
Pairing: This dish pairs wonderfully with a cold beer or a classic soda for a fun, relaxed meal.
Variations
Sweet Potato Fries: Swap out the russet potatoes for sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter version of the fries. They also add an extra nutritional boost!
Loaded Fries: Turn this dish into loaded fries by adding melted cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, and chives on top of the fries before serving.
Vegetarian Option: Replace the sausages with veggie or plant-based sausages for a vegetarian-friendly version of this meal.
Grilled Veggies: Add some grilled vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini to the grill to complement the sausages and add extra color and flavor.
