Ingredients You Need to Make Cajun Fries
The best part about this recipe is that it is restaurant-quality french fries with only FOUR ingredients! And ones that you probably already have at home! See the recipe card below for a list of exact measurements.
Russet Potatoes: When you slice up your potatoes, make sure to keep them all about the same size. I make sure to watch this carefully because this will affect how evenly your fries cook. They will cook better if they are all about the same size. Olive Oil: I like to use olive oil because it is healthier but you can use vegetable oil if that’s all that you have on hand. Cajun Seasoning: If you can, try to make this homemade cajun seasoning beforehand. I think it’s worth the amazing taste! But… if you only have time for store-bought then that will work too! Salt: The salt just enhances the seasoning flavor!
