George Foreman (Not So) French Fries
Yes, indeed you can make french fries on a George Foreman grill, however they don't really taste as good as in the oven. Like most things on the GF, they come out firm on the outside and soft in the middle. Also, they took longer on the GF than in the oven. I cooked 1/2 of a potato on the GF and 1/2 in the oven to compare. Both were prepared by just slicing a potato, drying the fries, and coating them in oil & spices. In the oven (at 425F) it took just over 20 minutes, but on the GF, it took over 25 minutes. For now I'll reserve my GF for cooking waffles instead.
FYI: you can also cook bacon on the GF, but it comes out a bit floppy and the slices stick together (to cook more than one on a normal size GF, you have to lay them in an X). But, it is far less smoky than on the stove.

So I guess not everything cooks faster on the GF...this also brings up the question, what have you not tried to cook on the GF that might be possible? and did they have french fries in France?
Well, your question got me thinking. I bet you could make an omelette on the GF. I'll have to try that. The cheese might get messy though.
No, anywhere in Europe they are just called "fries," translated into the local language of course. But the translations in French, Dutch/Flemish, German, and Swiss German was always easy to identify as being what we call french fries.
Furthermore, hamburger is usually translated to something like "burger," but my problem was that I didn't know the word for "vegetarian." And although I like Boca [Raton] (and will be there next week!), I don't like Boca burgers.
