Green Chile French Fries
Share
Regular fries are fine. These are not regular fries. Crispy, golden, and dusted with our Green Chili French Fry Seasoning — real New Mexico green chile, cumin, black pepper, and chile pepper — these fries have bold Southwest flavor in every bite. Make them in the oven, air fryer, or deep fryer and season them hot right out of the pan so every flake sticks.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs russet potatoes (about 4 large)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil
- 2 teaspoons Dam Spice Co. Green Chili French Fry Seasoning (plus more to taste)
- Salt to taste
Optional dipping sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon Green Chili French Fry Seasoning
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes: Peel (or leave the skin on) and cut into ¼- to ½-inch fry shapes. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.
- Soak: Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes — this removes excess starch and is the secret to extra-crispy fries. Drain and pat completely dry.

Cook your way:
- Oven: Preheat to 425°F. Toss fries with oil and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet — don’t crowd. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Air fryer: Toss with oil and cook at 380°F for 18 to 22 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes, until crispy.
- Deep fryer: Fry at 375°F in batches for 4 to 5 minutes until deep golden. For ultra-crispy, double fry: first at 325°F for 3 minutes, rest, then fry again at 375°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Season immediately: As soon as the fries come out of the oven, air fryer, or oil, season generously with Green Chili French Fry Seasoning while they’re still hot. Toss to coat evenly.
- Make the dipping sauce (optional): Stir together mayo, lime juice, and seasoning. Serve alongside.
Tips
- Season hot: The seasoning sticks best when the fries are piping hot right out of the heat source — don’t wait.
