Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 bottle Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for a rustic texture.
Cut each potato into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to form a spice coating.
Add the potato slices to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each fry is evenly coated in the oil and spice mixture.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other for optimal crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the tray, flip the fries using a spatula, and return them to the oven.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the Cajun Style Oven Fries with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
