Cut potatoes into thin fries and soak them in cold water for 30 minutes (removes starch for crispier fries). Drain and pat dry with a clean towel.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss the fries with vegetable oil and the Cajun seasoning mix.
Spread fries on a baking sheet in a single layer (no overlapping). Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
Sprinkle with extra Cajun seasoning if desired. Serve hot with ranch, spicy mayo, or cheese sauce.
2. Cinnamon Sugar Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes
2 tbsp cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
2–3 tbsp vegetable or coconut oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar for a deeper flavor)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Optional: maple syrup or caramel for drizzling
Instructions:
Preheat oven 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Slice sweet potatoes into thin, even fries.
In a bowl, toss fries with cornstarch to lightly coat—this helps them crisp up.
Drizzle with oil and toss again until evenly coated.
Spread fries in a single layer (don’t crowd!) and bake for 15–20 minutes. Flip and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden and crispy.
While fries are still hot, toss in a bowl with the cinnamon-sugar mixture and a pinch of salt.
Add a little maple syrup or caramel sauce if you’re feeling extra.
– For extra crispiness, soak the raw fries in water for 30 mins, then pat dry before coating.
– Air fryer works great too—cook in batches at 375°F for 12–15 mins.
