Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Do not peel them.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into even slices, about 1/4-inch thick, to resemble fries.
Step 4
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled potato slices. Toss again to ensure all fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 7
Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 11
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a standalone snack.
