  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes, then slice them into ¼ inch slices lengthwise. Think “French fry” size. You can leave the skins on, if desired. I left mine on.
  2. Cover the potatoes in a bowl with cold water and let them soak for at least 10 minutes. 60 minutes is better.
  3. Drain and pat the potatoes as dry as you can get them.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  5. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, Cajun seasoning blend and a bit of salt and pepper. Be sure to get them nicely coated.
  6. Spread the fries out onto baking sheets and bake them for 20 minutes, tossing them a bit about half way through.
  7. Increase the heat to 450 degrees and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the baked Cajun fries and nice and crispy.
