Ingredients
Scale
Primary Spices:
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Seasoning Herbs and Heat Components:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Optional Heat Enhancers:
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Gather all dry ingredients and select a compact mixing vessel like a small ceramic bowl or glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Carefully measure each spice component, ensuring precise proportions to create a harmonious flavor profile.
- Pour all selected seasonings into the chosen container, maintaining a systematic approach to blending.
- Use a small whisk or long-handled spoon to thoroughly integrate the spices, rotating and folding the mixture to guarantee uniform distribution.
- Break up any potential clumps by gently pressing and stirring, creating a consistent, fine-textured seasoning blend.
- Prepare your preferred potato preparation method – whether deep-frying, oven-roasting, or air-frying – ensuring crisp and golden exteriors.
- Once fries emerge piping hot from cooking, immediately dust the seasoning mixture across the surface, allowing the warmth to activate and enhance the spice blend’s aromatic qualities.
- Gently tumble or toss the fries to achieve comprehensive coverage, ensuring each potato strand is generously coated.
- Transfer any remaining seasoning to an airtight glass or ceramic container, protecting it from moisture and direct sunlight.
- Label the container with the creation date and store in a cool, dark pantry space, maintaining optimal flavor preservation for several months.
Notes
- Experiment with different salt varieties like sea salt or kosher salt for unique flavor profiles and texture variations.
- Adjust spice levels by increasing or decreasing paprika and black pepper to match personal heat preferences.
- Create a low-sodium version by reducing salt content and adding more herbs like dried parsley or oregano for enhanced taste without sodium.
- Transform this seasoning into a versatile blend for roasted vegetables, popcorn, or as a dry rub for grilled meats by slightly modifying ingredient proportions.
