What do you put on french fries?

Is there something else besides plain old salt and pepper?

Are you a ketchup dipper?

What about the controversial mayonnaise?

I am a PURIST when it comes to my fries. I like salt and A LOT OF IT!

But, if I am feeling frisky and spicy, seasoned fries are the way to go. Some “seasoned” fries are actually coated in a thin breading that has herbs and spices in it.

If you like to keep it simple, a good dusting of the perfect seasoning mix is all you need.

And this recipe is just what you’re looking for.

What is fry seasoning made of?

Not to be confused with the popular seasoning or seasoned salt, french fry seasoning is a combination of the best herbs and spices that bring out the best of the potato!

The best part of making it homemade is that you can add your favorite herbs to suit your cravings. And, if you are salty like me, a little extra!

How to season fries

Depending on the type of fries and how you are preparing them determines how you season them.

If you are baking or air frying the fries, season them before you cook them.

Deep frying the old fashioned way? Season them as soon as they come out of the oil when they are hot and have a little oil still on them.

Frozen fries are easy to season because they have a layer of moisture on them when you remove them from the freezer.

How do you get the seasoning to stick to the fries?

Toss the fries in olive oil to lightly coat them. Sprinkle on the seasoning and it will stick to the potatoes. Then bake or fry as usual.

How to store fry seasoning

An air tight container is best. It keeps the spices from turning stale and losing their flavor. These are my favorite jars.

You can also use a spice jar with a shaker top so it’s easy to sprinkle on those hot fries!

Like all your other spices and seasoning, a cool, dry, and dark spot in your kitchen is the best place to store it.

I have a spice drawer next to my cook top that is convenient.
