Rachel Mansfield, a food blogger and author of the cookbook Just the Good Stuff, recently shared the genius idea on Instagram, sparking a wave of heart-eyed commentary from her followers. After using the seasoning for everything else in her life, she realized you can add a dash to your fries, too—and let's just say she was definitely not disappointed with the result. "Everything bagel french fries. It seems so basic and simple, yet it took me years to finally combine these two flavors together. The fries get extra crispy baked in the oven, and sprinkling it with the Everything But The Bagel seasoning from Trader Joe's adds the best flavor bomb to your plate," she tells me.

Aside from eating these bagel-y fries straight-up—she says even cold and dipped in ranch dressing is a win—she also switches things up by turning them into something that's a little more fitting for breakfast. "I love adding some fried eggs on top for a little eggs and hash brown action," she says.
However you choose to eat these potatoes, one thing's for sure: There's no possible way you'll be left disappointed. If you want to try everything bagel fries for yourself, use Mansfield's go-to recipe below.
