Ingredients
  

Cajun Spice Blend

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 0.5 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 tablespoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste

Fries

  • 4 large russet potatoes washed and peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the Cajun spice blend. Set aside.
  • Cut the potatoes into 0.5-inch thick fries. Ensure they are uniform in size for even cooking.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil until lightly coated.
  • Add about half of the Cajun spice blend to the bowl with the fries and toss to coat evenly. Add more spice blend if desired, ensuring all fries are well-seasoned.
  • Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy fries, soak the cut potatoes in ice water for 30 minutes before patting them thoroughly dry. This removes excess starch.
