Ingredients
- 2 lbs Russet Potatoes peeled and sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoon Corn Starch
- 2 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning Store bought or homemade
Instructions
- Preheat deep fryer to 300 degrees
- Cut fries into long thin strips
- Soak in a bowl of iced water for 30 minutes or so.
- Drain and dry the cut fries thoroughly.
- Toss fries in 2 tablespoon corn starch plus half the seasoning mix.
- Lay dried fries on a parchment sheet lined sheet pan and let sit 20 minutes.
- Fry at 300 degrees F for 4 minutes.
- Remove and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Increase heat to 375 degrees.
- Fry again for 2-5 minutes depending on desired crispness.
- Season immediately with remaining cajun seasoning.
Notes
- Soak cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch—this helps the fries fry up extra crispy.
- Double-fry for crunch: first at 300°F to cook through, then again at 375°F to get that golden, crispy exterior.
- Toss fries immediately with a Cajun spice blend while still hot so the seasoning sticks.
- For a lighter option, you can bake or air-fry—just coat the fries with a little oil and Cajun seasoning before cooking
