When I have extra baking potatoes, I enjoy making this Cajun Oven Fries recipe. It’s simple, delicious, and a hit with the kids—an added bonus. Personally, I double this recipe.
Cajun Oven Fries
4 medium baking/russet potatoes
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine oregano, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, sugar, cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Tabasco sauce. Mix well into a paste.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray well with cooking spray.
Peel potatoes and slice into French fry shapes.
Place fries in a ziploc bag with paste and work the paste onto the fries. You can do this in a bowl, but the bag method is easier.
Place fries on the baking sheet. Try not to let edges touch.
Bake in preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes. The time may vary with the size fry you cut. Turn fries half way through cooking to brown underside.
