Couldn't decide between frozen fries or making my own from scratch tonight
I picked the frozen bag to save time, but tossed them with a little smoked paprika before cooking. They came out way better than I expected, super crispy and actually had some flavor. Anyone have other simple seasoning mixes for basic frozen stuff?

Honestly, I used to be a total snob about frozen fries and would only make them from scratch. Tbh your paprika trick changed my whole view. I tried it last week and it was a game changer. Now I keep a little shaker of garlic powder and onion powder mixed together for the same reason. It takes two seconds and makes the cheap stuff taste way better.

Glad the paprika worked for you. But you know, mixing garlic and onion powder ahead of time can make the garlic taste a bit weird after a while. It loses its punch. I just keep them separate and shake a little of each right onto the fries. That way the garlic stays sharp.

Crack a little joke every time I shake my garlic-onion mix on fries... I tell my wife I'm giving them a "powdered personality" and she just rolls her eyes.
