What is the correct procedure for applying seasoning to Seasoned French Fries?

The proper method for applying seasoning to Seasoned French Fries involves removing the fries from the fryer, draining them, adding the seasoning, and mixing before plating. This process allows the seasoning to adhere properly to the fries, ensuring an even distribution of flavor throughout each piece. Adding the seasoning after frying, when the fries are still hot, allows the seasoning to stick better due to residual oil on the surface.

Sprinkling seasoning directly over fries in the fryer would not allow for even coverage and could potentially result in burning the seasoning. Mixing with raw potatoes before frying would lead to the loss of seasoning during the cooking process, as the fries would lose some of their flavor in the oil. Using a shaker while cooking in oil is not effective either, as the seasoning would likely not adhere well to the fries and could also burn during the frying process.
