Prep 20 min Cook 40 min Serves 4 Source

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3-4 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

  1. 1

    Wash and scrub the potatoes, then slice them into ¼ inch slices lengthwise. Think “French fry” size. You can leave the skins on, if desired. I left mine on.

  2. 2

    Cover the potatoes in a bowl with cold water and let them soak for at least 10 minutes. 60 minutes is better.

  3. 3

    Drain and pat the potatoes as dry as you can get them.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  5. 5

    Toss the potatoes with olive oil, Cajun seasoning blend and a bit of salt and pepper. Be sure to get them nicely coated.

  6. 6

    Spread the fries out onto baking sheets and bake them for 20 minutes, tossing them a bit about half way through.

  7. 7

    Increase the heat to 450 degrees and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the baked Cajun fries and nice and crispy.
