Ingredients
- 4-5 large Russet potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
- ½ Teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°.
- Scrub the potatoes clean. If you would like to peel them go ahead, but I chose to leave the skins on. Either press the potatoes through a large fry cutter or cut into ½ inch square sticks.
- Add your cut potatoes to a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to release the excess potato starch. After 30 minutes is up, drain and rinse potatoes.
- Dry the potatoes very well and lay them out on a large baking sheet. Add the olive oil, cajun seasoning, and salt to the potatoes and toss together until evenly coated. You can do this in a bowl instead, but I like to do it right on the baking sheet to save myself from having to wash another dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip the fries over and bake for another 20 minutes before enjoying with your favorite dipping sauce.
