Oven-baked fries with a bit of Cajun seasoning creates our favorite Cajun Fries.
Just follow the recipe for Oven-Baked French Fries and add Cajun seasoning to the fries before baking. You can control the heat by increasing or reducing the amount you sprinkle on. Ben loved these and couldn't get enough. I loved them, too, but next time I need to remember to make half of the pan spicier than the other as it was a little too much heat for me!
Cajun Fries
Ingredients
- Potatoes Idaho or Russet
- Olive Oil
- Salt to taste
- Cajun Seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place oven shelf on second to highest rack.
- Peel potatoes and cut into thin fry slices. Place the potatoes into a bowl with cold water as you cut them; this will help keep the fries crisp and white. Just before cooking, drain water and pat dry with paper towel. Put in a bowl; add olive oil, salt and seasoning. Toss well and lay out in single layer on nonstick baking sheet. Bake until light brown and crispy, about 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently.
- Toss with more seasoning as desired.
