This French fry seasoning is an all-purpose seasoning that works great to jazz up burgers, veggies, grilled cheese, and more! It’s so good that you’ll want to use it on EVERYTHING!

This blend has the perfect amount of heat, warm spices, salt, and garlic. So get your fresh or frozen French fries ready, season them with this awesome French fry seasoning and dip them in my special French fry sauce! So good!

French Fry Seasoning Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this awesome seasoning:

French Fry Seasoning Ingredients

Paprika can be substituted with smoked paprika for a smokey flavor, and if you don’t have all of the ingredients listed then no problem it still will be very flavorful.

How to Season French Fries

First, make the seasoning by collecting all of the ingredients, mix, and place in a jar.

When to season french fries? This depends on how you’re cooking the fries.

  • Deep-fried fries – whether they’re cooked from fresh or frozen, after you take them out of the oil, season them immediately with french fry seasoning while they’re still hot. Check out my easy homemade french fries recipe, showing you how to make crispy fries from scratch!
  • Oven-baked fries, Air fryer potato fries, or Air fryer sweet potato fries – drizzle the fries with oil, and sprinkle with seasoning. Then using a spoon or your hands, toss the potatoes until they’re evenly coated with oil and seasonings. Then bake or air fry them. For a low carb version, check out my rutabaga fries recipe.

Storing Tips

Store the seasoning in an airtight spice jar for up to 6 months. Spices and dried herbs can last for a year or 2, but it is recommended that ground spices/herbs are consumed within 6 months for the best flavor.

Keep the jar away from sunlight, and store it in a dark and dry place. If your seasoning blend is exposed to humidity, it will become sticky and you won’t be able to use it.

And finally, don’t forget to label your jar with “french fry seasoning” and include a date so you know when you need to use it by.

You might be wondering how much seasoning do you need for 1lb of fries, and honestly, I don’t have an answer for you. Start with 2 teaspoons of seasoning, taste the fries, and decide if you would like to add more.

    Absolutely delicious! Only way I will make fries from now in. I did add 1/2 teaspoon of thyme to the recipe. My 4 year old loved it as well, off course I didn’t add the full 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in fear it would be too spicy for the little one and just did a sprinkling of it instead.
