Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 can Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrition.
Cut the potatoes into thin strips, aiming for uniformity to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with the Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until all pieces are well coated.
Lay the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.
Lightly spray the potato strips with olive oil spray to help them crisp as they bake.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to flip the fries over.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
