Ingredients
Scale
-
- 3 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Cajun Seasoning:
-
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon sugar (optional, balances flavors)
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into thin fries and soak them in cold water for 30 minutes (this removes starch for crispier fries). Drain and pat dry with a clean towel.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss the fries with vegetable oil and the Cajun seasoning mix.
- Spread fries on a baking sheet in a single layer (no overlapping). Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
- Sprinkle with extra Cajun seasoning if desired. Serve hot with ranch, spicy mayo, or cheese sauce.
Notes
- Soaking the fries helps achieve that perfect crispy texture!
- Feel free to adjust the level of cayenne pepper based on your preferred spice level.
- For extra crunch, you can coat the fries with cornstarch before baking.
