Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Do not peel them.
Cut the potatoes into even slices, about 1/4-inch thick, to resemble fries.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled potato slices. Toss again to ensure all fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a standalone snack.
