I’m already into week #2 of recipe testing for Alexia French Fries and things are coming along quite nicely! Let’s just say that my neighbors have been getting their fair share of homemade french fries as I go back and forth on different seasonings and types of potato!! And there is no shortage of potatoes in my house.
I’m still undecided on what kind of potato to use – which means that everything I test, I test on both a sweet potato spear and a russet potato wedge. I’m indecisive like that. And it only makes sense to test each seasoning on each type of fry! 
Every potato needs it’s fair chance.
One thing I have officially decided on is that my french fry for Alexia Foods is going to have some sort of a homemade Ranch seasoning! Who doesn’t love Ranch? Slather that blend of dried buttermilk, parsley, dill, onion, garlic and pepper onto a fry and you’ve got one delicious snack! So while the final french fry is yet to be determined – I know that is will somehow include homemade ranch seasoning! And Homemade Ranch Seasoning is something I had never made at home before – but it’s so easy to make. And even easier to turn into a dressing with just a little mayo and milk!
| Homemade Ranch Seasoning |
- 1/3 cup dry buttermilk
- 1 tbsp dried parsley, crushed
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp dried onion flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- Add all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until super fine.
- Remove from food processor and transfer to a sealer container.

Gaby your flavor choices sound awesome. And you’re right…who doesn’t love ranch!
This is a wonderful dip for vegetables too!
mmmmmm i love ranch! Texas ketchup
This sounds really flavorful. I will be trying it on sweet potatoes.
I would love to try this… it sounds much better then the store bought stuff!
Mmm this looks perfect!
great idea! I vote for the wedge!
Hey Gaby – great blog!!! I sell food to restaurants for a living and the latest craze on potato demand is for Kennebec Potatoes – they make amazing fries!!! The Kennebec is an imposing and robust looking potato with a hefty oblong shape and stouted ends. Its skin is earth toned and its flesh, a mild ivory color. The skin’s texture is semi-rough and thin. Its flesh is firm and moist, yet starchy, making it a versatile potato for culinary use. Kennebec potatoes have a rich, earthy and nutty flavor when cooked. Kennebec potatoes are widely grown for the single culinary purpose of producing potato chips. Good luck with your challenge!!!
Brilliant!
Wish I were your neighbor!
You beat me to it… how can you go wrong with Ranch? YUM!
Hi Gaby!
I’ve been making a lot of homemade mixes lately and I’m going to give this one a try to use on my potato wedges. I’m going to try it with dry milk at first because I usually don’t keep dry buttermilk on hand in the pantry. Thanks for sharing!
