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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrition.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into thin strips, aiming for uniformity to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Lay the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.
Step 6
Lightly spray the potato strips with olive oil spray to help them crisp as they bake.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Step 8
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to flip the fries over.
Step 9
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
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.
