Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (optional) and spread 1 lb frozen French fries in a single layer on the sheet.
  • Drizzle 1/4 cup vegetable oil evenly over the fries and sprinkle 1 Tbs Season All salt on top.
  • Using your hands or tongs, toss and spread the fries so the oil and Season All salt coat them and so the fries are not touching as much as possible.
  • Sprinkle additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake in the preheated 400°F oven for about 20 minutes, or follow the package instructions for your particular fries; at about the halfway point (≈10 minutes), turn or stir the fries for even browning.
  • When the fries are golden and crispy to your liking, remove from the oven and serve hot.

Notes

Make sure to refer to your own package of french fries for time and temp baking settings, as this will differ with different brands.
If you like your fries more crispy, allow to bake longer.
It's important to mix by hand so that the oil is evenly distributed.  Keep a towel close by to wipe your hands on afterward!
Change up the season all salt with garlic or onion powder and cayenne pepper for a slight change.
