Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons 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: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting your fries.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the russet potatoes into even strips to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Coat Fries: Toss the potato strips with olive oil until they are evenly coated, which helps them crisp up during roasting.
- Season Fries: Generously sprinkle Cajun seasoning over the fries and mix well to distribute the bold flavors evenly.
- Roast Fries: Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve a golden brown and crispy texture.
- Make Spicy Sauce: While the fries are baking, combine sour cream, hot sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl and mix well to create a tangy and spicy dipping sauce.
- Assemble: Once the fries are done, transfer them to a serving dish, top with chopped green onions, and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese if desired for added creaminess and flavor. Serve immediately with the spicy sour cream sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispy fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch and then dry thoroughly.
- You can adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning and hot sauce based on your preferred spice level.
- Feta cheese is optional but adds a nice tangy contrast to the spicy and savory flavors.
- Use a convection oven if available to enhance crispiness.
- Leftover fries are best served immediately as they lose crispness when cooled.
