Potato Spice Blend

Origin & Story

I developed this seasoning for my fried and baked potatoes – with the aim of uniting herbal aroma, roasted aromas and subtle smoky notes in one jar. The blend is versatile and replaces classic salt-and-pepper combinations with more structure and depth. Whether in the pan, in the oven or on the grill: this blend always works when potatoes should be more than just a side.

Highlights

Flor de Sal forms the mild base, complemented by Malabar pepper and its smoked counterpart for heat and depth. Sweet paprika and smoked paprika provide colour and subtle smoky notes. Caraway, coriander and mace bring warmth and seasoning, while onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, chives and parsley create a full herb profile. The blend is free-flowing, bake-stable and also suitable for marinades. It was developed exclusively by me and is made exclusively at Manufaktur Funke. The exact recipe remains my secret.

Quality

All ingredients are processed single-batch, fresh and by hand – with no additives, no technical aids, no artificial flavourings or anti-caking agents.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen.
100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.

Tip from Tobias Funke

I marinate raw potato wedges with a little oil and the seasoning, let them rest for 10 minutes and then bake them at 200 °C until golden brown – this keeps the seasoning aromatic and not bitter.
