Cajun Style Fries
Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 40 MinInactive time: 10 MinTotal time: 1 Hour
Ingredients
- 2 russet potatoes
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tbsp thyme
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp white pepper (THIS IS KEY)
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F
- Wash potatoes then slice into long skinny fries. (You can peel the potatoes if you want but they contain a lot of the vitamins, minerals and fiber so I would suggest leaving it on!) Then place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and submerge for 5-10 minutes.
- While potatoes are soaking, put all the spices together in a small bowl.
- Then dry the potato slices as much as possible with a cloth or paper towel.
- Place potatoes on baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle the avocado oil and spices. Mix well so all the slices are covering the potatoes. Feel free to mix them all in a bowl before placing them on a baking sheet.
- I used two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding, which leaves you with soggy fries.
- Put them in the oven for 40 minutes. Tossing/flipping the potatoes halfway.
- I sprinkled on some finely grated parmesan cheese and cilantro as an added garnish. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Smaller batches can be made in the air fryer! Just be sure to still spread the fries out for maximum crispiness!
