Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes
Seasoning & Toppings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Spicy Sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the fries evenly and to achieve a golden, crispy texture.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the russet potatoes into evenly sized strips to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Coat Potatoes: Toss the potato strips with olive oil until thoroughly coated, which helps them crisp up in the oven.
- Season Fries: Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning generously over the oiled potato strips and mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
- Roast Fries: Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through to brown all sides evenly until fries are golden and crispy.
- Make Spicy Sauce: While fries bake, combine the sour cream, hot sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl, mixing well to create a creamy, tangy spicy sauce.
- Serve: Once fries are cooked, remove from oven and top them with freshly chopped green onions and crumbled feta cheese if desired. Serve immediately with the spicy sauce on the side or drizzled over the fries.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting to remove excess starch; dry thoroughly before tossing with oil.
- Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning and hot sauce based on your preferred spice level.
- Feta cheese adds a salty tang but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
- These fries are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for the optimal texture and flavor.
