Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I’m not sure what it is about the bottomless fries at Red Robin, but I love them! And the French Fry Seasoning is definitely part of what makes their fries so amazing!

Honestly, I’ve never met a French fry I didn’t like, but the fries at Red Robin are some of my favorites.

I made the French fry seasoning for the first time a few weeks ago. We have been trying it out on a lot of things here at home. We like it so much that we now double the recipe and even keep a batch in our camper to take with us camping. Great stuff.

Okay, it might possibly be because they’ll bring you as many fries as you can eat, but it’s definitely something more than that.

Of course, when I say I love Red Robin fries, that includes the ranch dressing that I always get on the side for dipping. 

The seasoning plus the ranch dressing are the two things that put Red Robin French fries at the top of my favorites list. So it only makes sense to try and recreate the seasoning at home.

Yes, Red Robin does sell their French fry seasoning, but it’s so easy to make it at home, and you probably already have all of the spices and seasoning in your pantry.

As near as I can tell, this version is a pretty close replica. It looks, smells, and tastes just the like the fry seasoning at Red Robin. And my whole family agrees.

I just love being able to add that Red Robin flavor to my French fries anytime I have the craving!

Just keep this spice mix in an airtight container, and use it on everything from fries to chicken, hash browns, hamburgers, and even seafood.

This French Fry Seasoning is definitely one of my favorite, most versatile seasoning blends. You should mix up a batch as soon as possible!

  • This is a bad copy cat. They use dried tomato soup mixture in their seasoning. At best its a wish.com copycat

    hi, sounds good, but you may want to rewrite the first paragraph. you write stir the sugar together never mentioning any other ingredients. we all know what you mean, but it’s not written correctly. just trying to help not trying to be mean.

    • Yes that weirded me out as well! Very strange way to write it.

  • This recipe really does recreate the flavor of Red Robin French Fry seasoning as I remember it. I remember trying recreate this seasoning many years ago; the copycat recipes of the time specified a dried soup from Knorr; but by the time I tried to make the seasoning Knorr had stopped making that brand of soup. So it’s great to have a Red Robin seasoning recipe that’s made from ingredients that we can actually get. Thanks much! – Bob C

    For those asking 1 tsp. Celery Salt.

  • Brandon

    Why is the serving size listed as 1? How is that useful? This yields 24 servings but no idea how much that is in tablespoons. I guess we have to add up all the measurements ourselves.

    • I too would like to know how much celery salt to include in the recipe. Anyone who has tried it, did you add celery salt? Didn’t add it? Thanks!

  • I made the French fry seasoning for the first time a few weeks ago. We have been trying it out on a lot of things here at home. We liked so much that we now double the recipe and even keep a batch in our camper to take with us camping. Great stuff

    • Is the 1/4 cup paprika a typo? It is wayyy too much in my opinion

    • Georgette Michalkovich

      I see the ingredients call for celery salt, but the recipe to print does not have celery salt included. Did you include the celery salt?
