These are so good and you could use the recipe as a base to season them however you like, for instance, instead of the cayenne and cumin, you could use rosemary and fresh parsley!

Yum! I really enjoyed these spicy little fries. Served them with tartar sauce for a great combination. Thanks Mrs Muffins for a nice treat. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Tag.

Mmm, these are very, very tasty! The fries turned out crispy and brown with a lovely flavour to them! I luv how all the spices work great together and will use this blend for other dishes, too. I made two versions of the recipe: One with the listed spices and the other using Indian Spice Mix, which worked great as well. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this easy and yummy recipe with us! Ill certainly make it again! Made and reviewed for one of my babies during Fall PAC 09.
