Ingredients
  

  • Crinkle-cut frozen fries
  • Vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for heat

Equipment

  • Deep fryer or large skillet

  • Tongs or a spatula
  • Paper towels
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the seasoning
  1. In a small bowl, I mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. This seasoning blend is what gives the fries that classic Zaxby’s flavor.

Step 2: Cook the fries
  1. You can fry or bake the crinkle-cut fries according to package instructions. I usually fry them at 350°F until golden and crispy, but baking works great too if you want a lighter option.

Step 3: Drain excess oil
  1. Once the fries are done, I place them on paper towels to remove any extra oil. This helps keep them crispy and not greasy.

Step 4: Season the fries
  1. While the fries are still hot, I sprinkle the seasoning evenly over them and toss gently so every fry gets coated.

Step 5: Serve hot
  1. I serve these fries immediately while they’re hot and crispy, just like you’d get at Zaxby’s.

Notes

  • I love serving these fries with Zax Sauce, ranch, or honey mustard.
  • They’re also perfect alongside burgers, chicken tenders, or sandwiches for a complete restaurant-style meal.
