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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 3

Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for a rustic texture.

Step 4

Cut each potato into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the potato slices to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each fry is evenly coated in the oil and spice mixture.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other for optimal crispiness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the tray, flip the fries using a spatula, and return them to the oven.

Step 9

Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the Cajun Style Oven Fries with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
