1 #### Seasoning Salt for French Fries or Fried Potatoes 2 3 Image: 4 [Seasoning Salt](#seasoning_salt.jpg) 5 6 - Ingredients 7 + 1 medium onion (~80g, but it doesn't have to be exact) 8 + 4 Tbsp salt 9 + 3 Tbsp paprika 10 + 1/4 tsp black pepper 11 + ~1 tsp (2g) mace 12 * I only have whole, dried mace, so I don't know exactly how 13 much volume it would have as powder. I just used a teaspoon 14 filled with small pieces of mace, but it probably doesn't 15 matter too much anyways. 16 ([Image](#seasoning_salt_mace.jpg)) 17 - Instructions 18 + Cut onion into small pieces and place in frying pan without oil. 19 ([Image](#seasoning_salt_onions_raw.jpg)) 20 + Fry onion on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, occasionally turning 21 the pieces, then leave on the hot (but turned off) stove until 22 cool in order to dry the onion pieces. If a gas stove is used, 23 it may be necessary to keep a very small flame on since no 24 further heat comes after it is turned off. 25 ([Image](#seasoning_salt_onions_dried.jpg)) 26 * It may be necessary to increase the time depending on 27 various factors. 28 * The onion pieces may get fairly dark brown, but they 29 shouldn't actually get burnt unless the heat is too high 30 (in the image, they may have gotten a bit too dark 31 because I accidentally had the stove too hot). 32 * It's probably possible to dry the onions using an oven as 33 well, but I just did it with a frying pan and haven't 34 experimented with other methods. 35 + Grind dried onion pieces, paprika, pepper, and mace together in 36 a spice or coffee grinder. 37 * It might be a good idea to grind the onions alone and leave 38 the powder to dry for a while since the onion pieces often 39 will not be perfectly dry. I haven't experimented with this 40 yet, though. 41 + Add salt and grind for a few more seconds to mix it properly and 42 make the salt a bit more fine-grained (the salt I get here is 43 relatively fine-grained, but I still found it to be a bit coarse 44 for my taste). 45 + Note: Even though this seasoning salt is "officially" meant for 46 french fries, you can dump it on a lot of other things as well.
