We ate these up! I sprinkled the spice mixture, lightly, directly on the hot fries, and doused them in fresh lime juice rather than using the zest (have you ever tried zesting a lime you've already cut open? Not an easy project). Tasted at least as good as I got in a Colombian restaurant! Thanks for posting.
