How to Make Homemade French Fry Seasoning Blend

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons Penzeys Old World Seasoning (or substitute: 1.5 tablespoons seasoning salt + 1/2 teaspoon celery salt), 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  2. Stir well to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Transfer the seasoning blend to an airtight container for storage.
  4. **For Frozen Fries:** Preheat oven according to package directions. Toss 1 lb frozen fries with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a generous sprinkling of seasoning blend.
  5. Spread fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, following package instructions.
  6. **For Homemade Fries:** If using a two-step frying method, generously sprinkle the seasoning blend over the fries after the first fry, before the final fry. Fry until golden brown and crispy.
  7. **Alternative for Homemade Fries:** Sprinkle seasoning immediately after removing fresh, hot fries from the oil or fryer.
