The Seasoning You Need To Add To French Fries If You Love Vinegar
BY EMERY PEARSON
If you're a fan of the irresistible tang offered by crispy French fries drenched in malt vinegar, there's a seasoning that can take your tangy fries to the next level — Old Bay.
Old Bay enhances the dish's balance of flavors. Its blend of paprika, celery salt, pepper, and other spices adds a savory depth that contrasts with the vinegar's acidity.
Salty fries already benefit from the acidity that deliciously cuts through the rich, fatty flavors, and Old Bay adds an extra layer of complexity to it, further elevating the dish.
When it comes to application, shake the seasoning onto the fries before baking to let the flavors meld as they cook, then add another sprinkle once they're out of the oven.
You can even try making your fry sauce with Old Bay as the star ingredient. Finally, drizzle malt vinegar over the fries before eating, adding that signature tangy zing.
