If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).

Another option for cooking French fries. Instead of eggs, use refined vegetable oil with a high smoking temperature (about 0.5 tbsp. l.). Mix the potato bars with your hands so that the oil envelops each potato block. Add spices, salt, mix and bake until cooked.
