Notes
Adjust spices according to your taste.
Adding a dash of cinnamon can make these fries even spookier with a sweet note.
Use different dips like ketchup, mayo, or spicy sauces to add variety.
Remember, crispy fries need space, so don’t overcrowd your baking sheet.
Keep experimenting with your favorite spices and share your spooky fries with friends. 😊
