Notes

This recipe yields about 3 tablespoons of seasoning, which is perfect for seasoning 500–600 grams (about 1–1¼ lb) of hot French fries.
Simply sprinkle about 1 to 1½ teaspoons per serving right after frying or baking so it sticks well.
The blend is quick and easy to make using pantry staples, and it can be adjusted easily by adding more cayenne for heat or extra sugar for a sweeter ketchup-style finish.
Store any leftover seasoning in a well-fitting spice jar and use it whenever fries are on the menu.
