#### Seasoning Salt for French Fries or Fried Potatoes

IMG Seasoning Salt
- Ingredients
+ 1 medium onion (~80g, but it doesn't have to be exact)
+ 4 Tbsp salt
+ 3 Tbsp paprika
+ 1/4 tsp black pepper
+ ~1 tsp (2g) mace
* I only have whole, dried mace, so I don't know exactly how
much volume it would have as powder. I just used a teaspoon
filled with small pieces of mace, but it probably doesn't
matter too much anyways.

- Instructions
+ Cut onion into small pieces and place in frying pan without oil.

+ Fry onion on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, occasionally turning
the pieces, then leave on the hot (but turned off) stove until
cool in order to dry the onion pieces. If a gas stove is used,
it may be necessary to keep a very small flame on since no
further heat comes after it is turned off.

* It may be necessary to increase the time depending on
various factors.
* The onion pieces may get fairly dark brown, but they
shouldn't actually get burnt unless the heat is too high
(in the image, they may have gotten a bit too dark
because I accidentally had the stove too hot).
* It's probably possible to dry the onions using an oven as
well, but I just did it with a frying pan and haven't
experimented with other methods.
+ Grind dried onion pieces, paprika, pepper, and mace together in
a spice or coffee grinder.
* It might be a good idea to grind the onions alone and leave
the powder to dry for a while since the onion pieces often
will not be perfectly dry. I haven't experimented with this
yet, though.
+ Add salt and grind for a few more seconds to mix it properly and
make the salt a bit more fine-grained (the salt I get here is
relatively fine-grained, but I still found it to be a bit coarse
for my taste).
+ Note: Even though this seasoning salt is "officially" meant for
french fries, you can dump it on a lot of other things as well.
