Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for mild heat)
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional, helps with browning and balance)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a small bowl or jar, thoroughly mix all the spices together until they are well blended, ensuring an even distribution of flavors throughout the seasoning.
- Use immediately or store: Sprinkle the seasoning directly onto hot freshly cooked fries for instant flavor or store the blend in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 months.
- Tips for best flavor: For freshly cooked fries, toss them with a small amount of oil or melted butter before adding the seasoning so it adheres better. For frozen fries, season them immediately after baking or air frying while still hot to maximize flavor absorption.
Notes
- Adjust the chili powder quantity based on your preference for spice.
- The sugar is optional but helps with browning and balancing the flavors.
- Store the seasoning in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Use within three months for best freshness.
- This seasoning works well on other snacks like potato wedges or roasted vegetables.
