Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp tomato powder
  • ½ tsp celery salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Sift spices into a mixing bowl to remove any clumps from the garlic or onion powder, ensuring a uniform texture.
  2. Add all measured ingredients to the bowl and whisk vigorously for 60 seconds until the blend is a consistent vibrant orange-red color.
  3. Optionally, pulse the mixture in a clean coffee grinder for 2-3 seconds to create a fine 'dust' consistency that adheres better to fries.
  4. Taste test the seasoning on a single fry or potato slice and adjust salt levels to your preference.
  5. Use a small funnel to transfer the seasoning blend into an airtight glass jar or spice shaker for storage.
