Description

Crispy french fry seasoning blends perfectly balanced spices for ultimate potato perfection. Salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper create a mouthwatering coating you’ll want to sprinkle on everything.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Select a compact ceramic bowl or glass jar with a secure lid for mixing dry ingredients precisely and systematically.
  2. Blending: Pour all spices into the container, using a small whisk to thoroughly integrate the seasonings, ensuring complete and uniform distribution without visible clumps.
  3. Texture Management: Gently press and stir the mixture to create a fine, consistent seasoning blend with no irregular particles that might disrupt coating quality.
  4. Cooking Technique: Prepare potatoes using preferred method – deep-frying, oven-roasting, or air-frying – focusing on achieving crisp, golden exteriors with maximum textural appeal.
  5. Seasoning Application: Immediately dust hot fries with the spice mixture, allowing residual heat to activate and amplify the blend’s aromatic complexity and flavor profile.
  6. Coating Technique: Tumble or toss fries gently to guarantee comprehensive spice coverage, ensuring each potato strand receives an even, flavorful coating.
  7. Storage Protocol: Transfer remaining seasoning to an airtight glass or ceramic container, protecting from moisture and direct sunlight, and label with creation date for optimal flavor preservation.

Notes

  • Master Spice Measurement: Use precise measuring tools like digital scales or measuring spoons to ensure consistent flavor balance and avoid overpowering or bland seasoning.
  • Prevent Clumping Technique: Sift dry ingredients through a fine-mesh strainer before mixing to eliminate moisture-trapped spice clusters and create smoother, more even seasoning distribution.
  • Enhance Flavor Absorption: Lightly sprinkle seasoning on hot fries immediately after cooking, allowing residual heat to activate and bind spices more effectively to the potato’s surface.
  • Storage Smart Strategy: Keep seasoning blend in an airtight, opaque container away from heat and light to preserve potency and prevent spice degradation for up to 3-4 months.
