Baked Cajun Fries

These Baked Cajun Fries turned out perfectly!

The attempt to get something similar to @raisingcanes sauce… not so much. Too much ketchup and not enough spice. But, it still gave a cool complement to the fries.

Baked Cajun Fries Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Russet potatoes (about 2 large)
• 1 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning

Directions

1. Wash and scrub 2 large Russet potatoes.
2. Cut potatoes into about 1/4″ slices. Think “French fry” size. See top right pic above for suggested cutting steps.
3. Immerse cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water then move to refrigerator to soak for 1 hr.
4. Line an extra large baking sheet with parchment paper then set aside.
5. About 55 mins into soaking potato slices, preheat oven to 350^◦ F.
6. Drain soaked potato slices, then transfer to a clean dish towel. Using a second dish towel, pat the drained potato slices as dry as you can get them.
7. In a gallon-size Ziplock bag, toss patted dry potato slices in 1 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 1/2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning until well-coated.
8. Spread seasoned potato slices on prepared baking sheet in one layer.
9. Bake for 20 mins, then remove from oven and increase oven temp to 450^◦ F.
10. Shuffle fries around on baking sheet, again ensuring they’re in one layer before returning to oven.
11. Bake for 25 more mins.
