The potato is a mighty vegetable that can be roasted, fried, baked, boiled and cooked in many other forms that we probably don\u2019t even know about. But none are quite as humble as fries ( or chips as we call them in England).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/potatoes-veggie-kingdom\/\">Potato<\/a> fries are the nation\u2019s favourite food. In-fact, if you visit a British supermarket, you\u2019ll see a whole frozen aisle dedicated to them. But today we aren\u2019t here to talk about the potato itself, and instead how we season potatoes. Obviously salt is a must when it comes to topping your fries, but I want to give you an insight into other herbs and spices that will bring a whole new flavour to your fries.<\/p>\n<h3>Oregano<\/h3>\n<p>This is a favourite in Greece and if you\u2019ve ever had gyros then you\u2019ll know exactly what i\u2019m talking about. Oregano is often used on pizza, pasta and various meat dishes, but works just as well, if not better, on fries.<\/p>\n<p>There are several variations of oregano, with Greek and Italian being the most popular. If you want to make true, authentic Greek fries then source your Greek oregano from the supermarket or specialist herbal shops. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you choose fresh or dried, as long as you put plenty on.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"10\" cellpadding=\"10\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/recipes\/creamy-garlic-potato\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/recipes\/creamy-garlic-potato\/ noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-400 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"recipe-creamy-garlic-potato-soup\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-517x517.jpg 517w, https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-335x335.jpg 335w, https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-25x25.jpg 25w, https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik-257x257.jpg 257w, https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Happy-Thursday-Soupers-When-were-in-Bratislava-over-Christmas-we-had-the-most-amazing-garlic-soup-LOTS-of-garlic-and-paprika.-Felt-lik.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td>\n<h4>Find this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/simplysouperlicious.com\/recipes\/creamy-garlic-potato\/\">Creamy Garlic and Potato soup<\/a><\/strong> recipe here!<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Rosemary<\/h3>\n<p>If you are British you will probably be more than familiar with rosemary on your roast potatoes. So, why not mix things up a bit and throw it on your fries, too?<\/p>\n<p>Rosemary is a woody, fragrant herb that can be found dried on the shelves of most supermarkets. Try sprinkling on your fries once cooked, or for a more potent flavour, add a spring or two of rosemary when part boiling your fries before oven cooking. Rosemary fries are the perfect complement to any lamb dish.<\/p>\n<h3>Seaweed salt<\/h3>\n<p>Seaweed salt and I became acquainted back in 2017 on a weekend trip to Brussels. Doing what most of us do, scouring the streets for the best local food, we came across a fish and chip shop selling daily caught fish with, you guessed it, seaweed salt fries.<\/p>\n<p>This changed the whole salt game for me within the first bite. Seaweed is naturally very salty, but at this point I&#8217;d never considered seaweed salt to be a thing. But I&#8217;m so glad it is. Seaweed salt is full of minerals and therefore has a much stronger taste than most table salts. Sprinkling this on your fries may offer a subtle umami taste that goes extremely well with Asian dishes.<\/p>\n<h3>Parmesan<\/h3>\n<p>Cheesy chips? Yes, please! Cheese on fries comes in various forms in different countries, Poutine in Canada and chips cheese and gravy in the North of England. Parmesan on fries is probably one of the most refined versions though.<\/p>\n<p>In Italy, it is common to pour parmesan on most things, so why not include fries on that list? As potatoes have a subtle taste, parmesan can really hit you with a burst of flavour to bring new life to the dish.<\/p>\n<h3>Garlic &amp; mixed herbs<\/h3>\n<p>Garlic should be used on pretty much everything, and fries are no exception.<\/p>\n<p>You can chop fresh garlic and cook it with the fries or sprinkle garlic granules once cooked, but you should definitely add garlic. And just to give it that extra hit of flavour, add mixed herbs to your fries for a truly Mediterranean taste.<\/p>\n<p>Fries don\u2019t have to be boring. Sure you can use table salt and pepper, but why stop there? There is a whole world of herbs and spices that are waiting to be sprinkled on your potatoes. Now you\u2019ve got some insight into things that work, it\u2019s time to experiment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are five ways to season your potatoes &#8212; well, six if you count making potato soup.
