French Fry Seasoning
Creating spice mixes is one of my favorite kitchen pastimes. It’s a great way not only to save money, but also to control the salt content and to make sure I don’t ingest tons of additives either.
Plus—and this is a biggie—I get to make all kinds of crazy mixes. As a result of my idiosyncrasy, I’m now stuck with 2 cabinets filled to the brim with home-made burrito, five-spice, ranch, taco, stew, beef, pork and other exotic mixes.
This here is my beloved French fry seasoning. I’ll whip up a monster batch every 2 months or so and put it in empty containers. It’s the best, most flavorful, fry seasoning on the planet.
I dissected the ingredients-list of a commercial seasoning some time ago, copied it, tried to come up with the right quantities and then I compulsively tweaked it.
I use it to liven up our fries and skillet baked potatoes, but in my kitchen it doubles as a fast chicken seasoning as well.
Ingredients:
3 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion salt
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic pepper
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1 1/2 tsp sweet paprika powder
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried chives
Optional: add 1/4 to 1/2 a tsp dried chili flakes for a spicier version
Directions:
* technically you could just combine all ingredients and use it as is, but I prefer my fry seasoning to have a really fine grind, so I use a spice-mill.
Mix the salt, onion salt, garlic salt and onion powder.
Add the garlic pepper. This will give just thew right amount of kick.
In goes the curry powder. This was a basic, English curry powder.
Add the sweet paprika powder and dried herbs. Give it a few pulses and you’re all set.
I transfer it to a basic table top spice sprinkler and label it ‘Patat Kruiden’. Because Patat means French fries in Dutch.
French fries are great on their own, but this just gives them a little something special.

Ja lekker en waar is de friet sauce :)
Heb een heeeeele grote tube Gouda’s Glorie fritessaus staan. De lekkerste :)
I love well-seasoned fries. Yum. Surprised to see curry in your mix! Sounds really good.
It’s one of the main ingredients in Dutch fry seasonings it seems. Must say it adds a wonderful flavor, can’t imagine my mix without it!
Very nice combination of spices. Excellent pictures as well, though the fries look more Belgian than French.
The fries weren’t part of the recipe … they were there strictly for photography purposes :)
McDonalds sells real French fries here and you can buy them pre-sliced/pre-fried and fry them yourself. Other than that, you won’t see them a lot here. These are Dutch fries, a size inbetween the Belgian and French fries and is pretty typical for NL and Germany, I believe. I do happen to have a french fry maker with 3 different blades, it goes from French fries to really thick Belgian fries.
Sounds delicious! Its fascinating to me that McDonald’s sells french fries that you can fry at home! I am not a huge McDonald’s fan but I do love their french fries! Wish they sold them like that here in the U.S. because I would definitely buy them and bring them home to fry!!
No, I mean McdDonalds sells these french fries (ready to eat) and our supermarkets carry a (small) selection of pre-fried French fries… most of the NL snackbars sell the thicker Dutch fries :)
This looks great and I think that I already have all of these spices at home.
