Notes

  • Use fresh spices (less than six months old) for best aroma and potency.
  • Start with small amounts of salt and heat, then increase gradually to avoid overpowering your fries.

  • Experiment with small batches when trying new ingredient combinations.
  • Make extra seasoning as it stores well for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
