Ingredients

1 tbsp salt - 1
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic granules
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried oregano - 2
½ tsp dried basil - 2
½ tsp dried parsley - 2
¼ tsp cayenne pepper - 3

Instructions

Put all the ingredients into a bowl
1 tbsp salt, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp garlic granules, ½ tsp onion powder, 1 tsp black pepper, ½ tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp dried basil, ½ tsp dried parsley, ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
Mix briefly until well combined.
Transfer to an airtight storage jar (I usually use a jam funnel to stop anything spilling). Seal and store in the spice drawer / cupboard.

Notes

Ingredients

Salt - I nearly always use sea salt crystals for seasoning as they have more flavour, here you can use table salt for ease - as the small grains will stick to the fries / chips better. By all means use sea salt, and pulse all the ingredients briefly in a spice grinder to break it down.
Dried Herbs - A mix of oregano, basil and parsley works well here - but feel free to swap to your preference. Marjoram would work, or a little rosemary (you will need to crush or grind the needle like leaves). The key is to have a balanced mixture for complexity without one flavour taking over.
Cayenne pepper - adjust to the heat level to taste. Hot chilli powder would work equally well.

Usage

Add 1/2 tsp per serving of fries. Sprinkle over cooked fries and shake well to coat evenly.

Storage

Store as you would any other jar of dry seasoning, in a cool dark cupboard. The best before is the shortest date on the ingredients. If stored correctly this fry seasoning will not go off.

Hints and tips

Shake the sealed jar before using as the contents can settle.
