French Fry Seasoning Recipe

This seasoning gives all of your fries more flavor. This seasoning has the eat-on factor for sure. You will only stop when all of the fries are gone.

This spice blend is great with fries but if you love pan-fried potatoes, wedges, or sliced potatoes this seasoning will taste great on these as well.

The Best Way To Store French Fry Seasoning

The best way you can store your seasoning is to put the seasoning in a glass jar. You can also store seasoning in an airtight container.

Store your seasoning in a dry and dark place e.g. in a kitchen cabinet or pantry. Do not put your jar with seasoning in the sun or the freezer.

This will impact the flavor of the seasoning. You can easily keep this seasoning for more than a year if not longer.

When To Season Fries Before Or After Frying?

Always after frying especially if you are frying your fries in oil and want to reuse the oil. When you are baking your fries in the oven you can season them before you put them in the oven.

I usually season them after baking. Put the seasoning in a glass jar with sprinkling holes and you can sprinkle the seasoning on your fries.
