copycat Freddy's seasoning Archives

One of my favorite side dishes to make are crispy homemade French fries. The thin ones. The kind with crunch on the outside and fluffy yummy inside. They’re so addictingly good. I like to season my fries with something tasty, something a bit different than salt and pepper or adobo seasoning (actually a big favorite of mine). This copycat recipe of Freddy’s fry seasoning is perfect on hot-out-the-fryer fries. I mean like crazy good. The added sweetness and earthiness of the seasoning adds a totally different flavor than if I’d just used salt and pepper. I go heavy on this seasoning, it’s really flavorful!

Make A Batch. Keep It On Hand.

There’s only one thing I’d do differently next time I make this copycat Freddy’s recipe fry seasoning: make a bunch more. It’s great on burgers. Baked potatoes. Cottage cheese. Just about anywhere that you think you should be using salt and pepper, use this instead.

I didn’t have turmeric on hand the first time I made this. A good substitute is dry mustard, which is what I went with. It’s a perfect replacement. You can also use cumin if you don’t have turmeric, but I’d use a bit less than the recipe calls for for the turmeric.

If I make a big batch of seasoning I like to keep it in these big spice bottles. I use blue painters tape to write the contents on the bottles. The tape comes off easily when I’ve used up the seasoning, so I can use the bottle for the next batch of whatever I’m making.

You can substitute a sugar substitute for the sugar. I think that’s with an asterisk though. The consistency between the two is different, so I’d say it depends on what you plan on using it on. For fries, I liked to see those sugar granules. Not a powder. For burgers, it really wouldn’t matter.
